A Delicate Balance...
Is it possible that we spend our lives searching for perfection - perfect health, everlasting youth, eternal love, and complete fulfillment - when the reality is there is no such thing? Perhaps life was created to be a balance - of good and evil, happy and sad, war and peace; yin and yang.
We must suffer pain to know the joy of being free of it...we have to endure struggle and hardship to appreciate times of peace and calm...we have to experience the rainy days in order to enjoy the beauty of sunny skies.

So as we encounter the struggles, the suffering, and the rainy days we need to remember that life is a delicate balance - that there is good to counter the bad, peace to replace the turmoil, and happy to relieve the sad. Darkness may pass through our lives...but it is always followed by beauty and light. ~Andrea :-)

This point is so true. ... While I want perfect health, perfect marriage, perfect child, fantastic job.... etc...
there is really no such thing as having everything we want all at one time. There will always be the ying w/ the yang... and that is to keep us humble, reliant on God, and to keep us in balance.
Very wonderful point.... In other words... stop striving for "perfect" to come along... it won't in THIS life.
