Life offers us a lot of things; challenges, experiences, joy, blessings, lessons, trials, laughter, beauty, AND SO much more. One thing will help you to appreciate another thing. They all work together to make us who we are. 

When we hear a song, watch a movie, read a book, etc. because of the things we've experienced, or been through, we may get something out of the song, movie, book, etc. that others don't. It does NOT mean either of us are wrong or right. It just means that through our life experiences, we may get more or less than the next person. Choose not to say the other person is wrong.

Disciple has had experiences with scriptures. She has read scriptures for decades, BUT sometimes a scripture will hit her and she thinks, "I've never read that before!" BUT she has! However, THIS time, something has changed in her life and now the scripture means something MORE than it ever did before. There is more clarity. More understanding. And it leads to changed thoughts. 

Our perspective of everything is the way we are looking, whatever it is. Someone else is looking at it through their eyes of experience. Does NOT mean their perspective is wrong. It is merely different because of what they have experienced. Choose not to say they are wrong. 

If someone has lived through an experience, never tell them what they experienced isn't so. That it was false. That it was a lie. That they don't know what they are talking about. Choose to see things from their perspective. Choose to find understanding. Choose to experience it from their point of view. 

We are all going the same way. Some of us stop at a "landmark" and some a "rest stop." Some make right turns, some make left turns. Our choices on the path may not be the same. Our distance may be different. But our paths cross, sometimes frequently, sometimes only once. BUT we ALL have a purpose on the path. We all have a reason for being on the path. Sometimes to help others, sometimes for them to help us. Sometimes to be an example, sometimes to follow an example. Everyone is on the path to learn something, many things. We all make mistakes. Some are here to help us through them. Sometimes we are caught up in the mistakes of others. But we keep going. We push on. Choose to help others. To be kind. To find harmony. 

Have a GREAT week. Look at things from a different perspective. Add to what you know. There is SO much out there. 

That's a wrap.
