Several months ago my daughter was in a car crash on icy roads that have left their mark on her confidence behind the wheel.
This evening, she drove that road again, for the second time since the collision. She drove faster, with more confidence and this time no tears. We talked about the fear, how repeating the experience increased confidence and very valuable life lessons drawn from this incident.
Perhaps, it is exactly for these reasons - to learn these lessons - that our Lord puts difficult times in each of our lives. He doesn't intend for life to be hard, but for life to be a series of lessons from which we grow in love, in trust and in confidence that our Lord is always there with us.
