Wednesdays Challenges
Good Morning Friends
?
Wednesday has come back to bless you once again. The message is simple; we each face adversity in our lives to help us grow for our future. If we offer to much help like the caring person did in the story, then unfortunately the learning doesn't occur. I'm not saying we don't need help occasionally, but we have to know when to stop.?May your day be what you need it to be and that you realize the many Blessings in your life!

“We do not see things as they are. We see things as we are.”????????????
The Talmud
?Strength from Adversity
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared, he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.
Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther.
Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.
Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It was never able to fly.
What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. And we could never fly.

Wednesday's attempt at humor:

A guy rushes into a bar, orders four expensive 30-year-old single malts and has
the bartender line them up in front of him. Then without pausing, he quickly
downs each one. "Whew," the bartender remarked, "you seem to be in a hurry."
"You would be too if you had what I have." "What do you have?" the bartender
sympathetically asked. "Fifty cents."
