Day 34: Worth the Trouble

I've been reading Grace (Eventually) by Anne Lamott and she's really reminded me of a few very important truths that humans seem to forget or never really find out.

I'd never have learned to ride a bike
If I'd never fought with gravity
If I'd never flipped over handlebars
If I'd never scraped my knees

You never learn to balance
If you never start to fall
And you never grow as a person
If you're carried through it all

Why our loved ones die
Why our prayers seem unanswered
Why we feel alone at night

Because unless we struggle through
Unless we deal with pain
Our lives are hardly worth the trouble
God went through to create
