Today's Writing by Carol Steficek......11/25/16

Good Morning,

Carol Steficek wrote "LEARNING EXPERIENCES" with the purpose of discussing the fact that making mistakes is just like walking on stepping stones that eventually can lead to a discovery that helps you to be successful. Carol wrote, "We will all spend our entire lives learning and growing.  Look at all you do the way great inventors did and the way God does.  Life is a process of learning experiences." We need to learn to look at our so called failures in a different way. God will use our mistakes to teach us.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. Please continue to pray for our country.

God bless

Corinne & Carol

LEARNING EXPERIENCES

"My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, 

so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding..." 

Colossians 2:2

      One interesting fact which I have read about a number of great inventors, like Salk and Edison, is that they did not consider their many trials on the way to their successful inventions or discoveries to be "failures" but rather "learning experiences."

     I doubt many of us look at life that way.  We tend to be hard on ourselves and think we have "failed" when we just need to learn from our experiences and go on from there.  We all gain understanding only from experience.  There is no easy road to completing any task or job and we do not learn from osmosis.  Life isn't that way.

    

 God wants us to be encouraged by what we learn.  God doesn't expect us to stay as we are.  Neither does He expect perfection.  He expects perseverance.  As humans we will never be perfect.  We will all spend our entire lives learning and growing.  Look at all you do the way great inventors did and the way God does.  Life is a process of learning experiences.

Here are several people 

who seemed to lack any qualities

that would ever result in success.

However, they surprised everyone

and became quite successful
