Sunday Blessings-opposition

It is strange to think of opposition as a blessing.  But knowledge of opposition helps us see the good, seek the good and appreciate the good.  I am so grateful that we don't have to experience ALL the opposition in the world though. But in overcoming our weaknesses and trials, we can learn from them not to repeat our mistakes and we can help others to overcome similar challenges.  Sometimes my greatest gratitude is from watching the trials of others and learning what their experience has taught them.  Sometimes my gratitude is from my own experiences and I try hard to be sure I learn what I need to learn.  Sadly, sometimes it takes me multiple times to learn.   I am grateful to learn though.
