The Jewelry Box

Sophie - October 11, 2010

Priscilla Shirer has written a wonderful post for The Jewelry Box, a monthly feature on her website. It's called "The Blessing of Pain," and here's an excerpt:

"From the beginning of time until now the discomfort that accompanies the meeting of our bodies or souls with a substance that causes it hurt is avoided at all cost. Except for the occasional exercise poster exclaiming "No Pain, No Gain," the vast majority of our thinking is trained to steer clear of anything that will cause us soreness. Pain is the enemy and we wonder why any parent would want the child that they love to experience it. Wouldn't life be better without it?"

I think you'll be glad you did.
