Positive Narratives: Lessons from the Pebbles

There was a traveler walking across the hill and was frustrated by the large number of pebbles that made the passage inconvenient. He had to keep dodging and kick those pebbles out all the way.

Feelings: Grievances, because pebbles are an obstacle that makes travel slower and difficult.

The positive idea that came in: This traveler decided to take a break and change the way he thought. He asked himself, "How can I turn these pebbles to good use, rather than see them as problems?"

Hands-on: He began to notice that some of the pebbles were the right shape and size for a tool, so he collected several flat, smooth-shaped pebbles, and brought them:

Lay a small path on soft ground to make it easier to walk.

Using a large chunk, nail his tent tightly.

Use a small cube to help weigh things blown by the wind.

Thoughts: As he continues his journey, he no longer views pebbles as "obstacles," but as "resources awaiting adoption." Changing his perspective allows him to use what was once a problem to make travel comfortable.

This story shows that raw materials or situations that seem problematic and annoying can have value, depending on how we choose to look and apply them.

Satan hates love… who would’ve thought?
Satan is set out to destroy anything that God can use for good. And when God sends you love that he deems valuable enough for you, that sends chills down Satan’s spine. He feels that we are too stupid and undeserving of love. And anything he can do to make us question God’s will for us is an oppo
