Day 61 - A Metaphor for Life
"My grandfather always said that living is like licking honey off a thorn." ~ Louis Adamic
I read this in a devotional the other day. "...like licking honey off a thorn." What a beautiful metaphor. Life is a lot like licking honey off a thorn. It's sweet, but it hurts sometimes. Life has its joys and rewards, but let's face it, you're going to get stung once in awhile. I'm also reminded of Abraham Lincoln's quote when I read this.
"We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses." ~ Abraham Lincoln
Good stuff and a reminder of what life is all about and how we should live our lives.
