Our blessings are the result of His suffering; we get a relatively free ride...
Our suffering is the result of His blessings; it would be much worse worse without them...
If you grew up with constants, then change later in life likely feels tricky and hard to navigate. Loved ones get sick and die, family homes are sold, and your childhood memories are replaced with readjustments and impermanence.
If you grew up with changes – frequent moves, new schools, divorce and other instabilities, then stability later in life likely feels foreign, perhaps even confining and stagnant.
Both paths hold losses and gains.
Both paths hold suffering and joy.
All paths end in reconciliation.
Hallelujah...
