Pick up a stone from a river
bed and feel its smooth edges.  How did
it get that way?  From years and years of
having water flow across its rough surface. 
Do you feel at times as if you are being worn down by life?  Or could all of these lessons—challenging as
they are—be a way of smoothing your rough edges … polishing your soul until it
shines?

Life need not always be so
difficult.  Much of how you handle it is
dependent upon your reactions to your challenges.  Do you stand up and fight, or do you let the
rushing water flow right off your back? 
Embrace the flow of life.  There
is purpose in all around you and purpose in you being here.  Go with the flow.
