Not every choice or experience in this life is as simple or easy as a walk in the park.

I wish it was, but it just isn’t.

However, with each difficult situation comes learning, deeper understanding, and meaning. Growth.

It’s true.

This life was never meant to be a walk in the park. Rather, it is a place of learning and growth, building human family connection, and developing patience… with self and others.

Overcoming loneliness, loving those who are most difficult to love, forgiving the unrepentant and undeserving are never easy. But, is it possible that with God, nothing is impossible?

These are some of the thoughts I was contemplating earlier on my walk in the park.
