Making Love Last Forever

“I could be happy; I could be in love with life, if only…” pg.55 (Gary)

(But the opposite is true! Without some painful encounters, our quality of life is diminished. Scott Peck begins his classic book. The Road Less Traveled with a now-famous line: “Life is difficult.” He continues: “This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths.”) Pg. 55 (Gary)

He goes onto suggest we can find pearls in the sandstorm. He uses the example of how a pearl in an oyster started with a piece of sand. In other words, trials in our life make us better and somewhere there is something good to be found within the trial (pearl).

Maybe he is suggesting we start thinking about the pearls even before we find them?

Philippians 4:8: “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
