ADVERSITY

Is described as a misfortune in the dictionary. The condition of adverse fortune. There are times in our lives that are adverse. The real strength of character is how we deal with such hostility. In Christian faith, to turn the other cheek is one approach. Such sayings as " time will tell." "Patience is a virtue." Not responding with hostility does take courage. To wait out adversity in our lives while still trying to find a new path also takes creativity and perserverance our situation, luck, life will turn a corner! Adversity teaches us we are vulnerable. Our true friends come forward and our enemies reveal themselves. Have you ever been down and you noticed some people around you were actually enjoying your misfortune? Do you ever notice some people love to hear of others' misfortunes? While some people actually are sorry to hear such news! During times of adversity, protect yourself! Feeling vulnerable can let your guard down! Share with those who will respect your feelings! Are you experiencing some adversity in your life? What are your strategies to help you through this difficult time?
