We Gain Lessons and Blessings From Every Event in our Lives

There are things that happen in everyone’s life every day. Some of these things are positive in nature and some are negative. Either way, no matter what it is that has happened, whatever the event is that has occurred; attached to that event or happening will be a lesson and a blessing. The bible says that wisdom is more precious than silver and will bring more profit than gold, so the key for us all is to take advantage of the lessons that we learn from the events in our lives so that we can experience the blessings that will come from them.

When we find ourselves in situations where something bad is about to happen to us, or where something bad has happened to us, the lesson with that is simply to not allow ourselves to be in those situations again. The blessing that we gain from that is the wisdom to know that when that situation is beginning to unveil itself, we know the signs and can avoid the situations and their negative outcomes. At the same time, we also now have wisdom that we can share, which is how we bless others. The bible says that the generous person, the person who blesses others, will be enriched or prosperous. So as we gain wisdom to help ourselves, we also gain wisdom to help others, which, as the bible states, will help us as well. 

When my children are complaining about things in their lives that might not be going as they would like for them to, I simply remind them that there is something to be learned and something to be gained from their experiences. If we look back at our lives, we can probably find the lessons from our experiences, and if we apply the lessons, we will be blessed beyond anything that we can imagine. We just have to be willing to learn, even from ourselves.
