The road to and from work is having some repairs done. It is a much traveled road, with a lot of semi traffic, and it has taken a beating over the years. So, they are removing some of the roughest patches and resurfacing portions of the road.
While it will eventually be better, the parts that are ground up so new asphalt can be put down are pretty rough. So rough that you can't hear anything over the road noise it creates. So rough that you can almost spill your coffee as you traverse each patch. So rough that you can't imagine what was there could be any worse than what now exists. However, it is finished yet...
Today's word is just a thought I came across that I really like. It says, "The road of life will rough you up but it is just shaping you for your future."
No discomfort is easy - NONE. It would be nice to have nothing but sunny days and storm-less nights. But, we all know that that is not life. Life will hit you sometimes, it will kick you when you are down most times. It will knock you down, run over you, back up and run over you again. But, the roughing up is not the end.
The road I travel is roughed up where they have removed the old surface. It is roughed up in these areas in order for the new surface to adhere. You see, the good can't stick if there isn't a little roughness. Life is going to be a little rough but it is just preparing us for the good.
Be Blessed,
