“Siempre pido en mis oraciones que, si es la voluntad de Dios, por fin se me abra ahora el camino para ir a visitaros. Tengo muchos deseos de veros para impartiros algún don espiritual que os fortalezca; mejor dicho, para que unos a otros nos animemos con la fe que compartimos.”
There’s a computer game called Minecraft that I learned to play because of my son, Ashton.
There is an option to play the game in peaceful mode, which means no monsters.
But just now as I looked up the name of it, I realized!
When there are no monsters, there are certain resources that you catch get any other way.
When you get attacked by skeletons, and you kill one of them, they “drop” bones (which you grind up into fertilizer to grow plants faster) and bow & arrows.
So also are the trials of life.
It’s a silly game I know. But there is such a simple truth to this. It’s the same in the gym! “No Pain – No Gain”
But the other thing is that there is strength in numbers! Each one leans upon the other! They have each other’s back!
