Learning is a life-long project. One is never too old to learn even though the lessons may be painful. Getting the lesson correct takes an examination of the circumstances and a willingness to adapt one's life to the learning process.
Often we question why something happens, doesn't happen, or isn't happening fast enough. We get impatient if the process takes too long, nervous if it's over too fast, and quizzical if it's just right. All the while failing to consider that the lesson may be in the way we conduct ourselves during the timing of the circumstance. Looking back it is sometimes possible to appreciate an in and out experience with little if any thought as to what we should take away from the circumstance.
Confusion and disappointment are two issues that plague many in this life-long contest. "What am I supposed to learn from this," may be the most popular question people ask. Be assured there is a lesson to be learned and an adjustment needed in life as a result of discovering the answer. So often we are so caught up in the moment that we fail to see the most basic answer - being thankful that there is a God Who loves us so much He wants us to appreciate all He does for us. He simply wants us to take the time to be thankful and appreciate His goodness.
