5.10- My power washer experience.

 5.10-

My power washer experience. It was good. It was a surprise benefit. I like it's long term benefit.

Suffering is like that.

I hired a friend to do several jobs around my house. He saw that there was gunk and moss and such on my driveway. A friend of his owed him so money or barter work. He told him to come my house and powerwash my driveway. He worked with his heavy power washer for hours. When he was finished it looked great and I was very happy.

When suffering comes our way it is a thing we did not order up. It can wash foolish behaviors out of our lives. It hits hard and changes the looks of our life. After deep suffering we will never be the same. We will get better or bitter. It can make us a more wise, kind and gentle person. It can open new doors of helpfulness.

I look at my driveway and remember the gunk is gone. Thank you God for suffering which powerwashes and sandblasts changes for the long term good but short term pressure.

James 1.

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
