Isn't it strange that as time passes the worst of times often become the best of times?
When my kids were growing up, we had some doozie vacations! It was almost as if anything that could go wrong, did. We endured everything from a child being extremely ill, to being washed away in a tent, to a car catching on fire, to waking up completely frozen on the 4th of July!
At the time I thought, "God can't we just have a normal vacation without any mishaps?"
As the years wore on though, the joke became, "what's going to happen this time?"
Know what else happened?
Those stories are the ones we tell over and over again and we laugh uncontrollably!
Turns out, the stuff I thought was a curse turned into the biggest blessing of all. Those were the times that made us unique - family - connected. We experienced those things together and we survived.
Now, those are the very stories my kids tell to their kids. Ironic, huh?
It's just like God to turn something bad into something very good!
