The Blessings and the Lessons

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

-ISAIAH 40:31 NIV

Every person that comes into your life has a gift to give you. Even the people who push your buttons, make you angry, drive you crazy, and make you wish you had never met them have a lesson to teach you. And until you learn that lesson, God will send other people just like them into your life. How easy it is to love and care about your friends and family and those who support you. Yet even the people who seem to be your enemies deserve your love, your care, and your gratitude. Sometimes blessings come in the strangest of disguises.
