Some of the best things in life come to us because of difficult times – don’t fear hardship but embrace it & good things will come.

-Michele Deville

I have been thinking so much lately about many people in my circle of life who are going through difficult times.  It’s made me have an even greater appreciation for my life and my own circumstances.

It’s made me develop a level of respect for their character and the way that they work through their challenges.  They make me grow and inspire me in ways they probably don’t even know.

As I have been thinking and praying for these people, I have also realized that so much goes on outside my “bubble of life” on a regular basis, as I’m sure you can relate.

People have cancer, they are losing their jobs, they are leaving their families to serve our wonderful country and on and on.  Choices, sacrifices, and struggle occur daily and all around us whether we realize it’s happening or not.

Enlarge your vision beyond what you know – so much is going on around you that can help you grow, learn, and inspire…just listen for it.
