I am always quoting a line from the Walt Disney movie The Lion King. Yeah, that's right, I watch kids movies. In this particular scene, the little monkey, Rafiki, is trying to teach Simba a valuable lesson. Simba is complaining about his life, and how hard it is. Rafiki says, well it's your past, you can either run from it, or learn from it. About that time, Rafiki wacks Simba against his head with his walking stick. Simba shouts, ouch, what did you do that for? Rafiki then swings again, and Simba ducks it. Rafiki says wow, you are a quick learner.
The lesson here, is we will all be hurt by someone, or something. The fact is, as long as we are depending on people or stuff to make us happy, we will always be disappointed. Nothing is ever enough, until we realize that God's grace is MORE THAN ENOUGH. You know the rest of the story, Simba learns from his past, and goes back to pride rock to claim his throne.
As we go into 2009, we should all resolve to look for the lessons in our life troubles. We should learn from Simba, and learn from our past. I always like to remember, "a mistake is only a mistake if a lesson is not learned". Let's all learn our lesson, and move forward with that new knowledge and wisdom, giving thanks always to God.
