I love this quote. Diamonds are my favorite gem. They go with everything and they sparkle.
"A diamond is just a piece of charcoal that handled stress exceptionally well."
We cannot always control our circumstances. We can choose our response. We choose the lens.
I love to laugh. I do not get excited about the trials of life, but I am old enough to know the trials and struggles are what refine us. They melt us, shape us, turn up the heat, and the pressure. Sometimes, something beautiful happens as a result.
"Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us.-Ecclesiastes 7:3
Today, I am grateful for the lesson from a diamond.
