8 We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. 9 We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.
2 Corinthians 4:8-18
Do you ever feel like a grape?
The kids are acting up...
Your finances are in trouble...
Your pet is sick...
You have troubled relationships...
Life, in general, is messed up.
Now you know what a grape feels like!
smooshed, squished, flattened, and squeeze beyond recognition.
What is a result of all this violence?
Taking time and the right conditions, a fine wine is made from the juice of the grapes.
The pressing in was worth the effort.
Just like life...
We are pressed in from all sides and from many places.
Just like wine...
The rewards of the squeezing results in a life of appreciation knowing what happened to get to the rewards.
Squeeze me to make me a fine wine on the Adventure in Middle Grove.
(Donations of wine gladly accepted!)
