going to the beach, it is fascinating to see layers of shells in what looks like solid rock. scientists use such phenomena to understand what life was like in the time of the shells. There are times that "life" deals us a heavy blow, from which we think there us no recovery, but time tells a different tale... we may be pressed in between the layers of life, but we are not destroyed, and what we have experienced becomes, not only useful, but valuable to those who seek to gain knowledge and understanding from it all. . . "we are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed but not in despair; persecuted but not abandoned; struck down but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body." - II Corinthians 4:10. . . #inspirationalquotes #photography #kidstuph #toughtimesdontlast #toughpeopledo #mystorystilllives #iamabel (at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac))
