As I live longer in America, I learn more and more about American life...
Positive, uplifting, and encouraging life despite difficulties.
We take hardship as a challenge. It does not mean we do not cry or are not angry but keep on walking forward for the best of what we have and time on earth.
Drugs or painkillers should not replace the joy we can have from natural challenges like surfing or rescuing the vulnerable, saving others in a hopeless place.
These kinds of attitudes and life define Americans, unique in spirit. So let us find ourselves back again.
Isaiah 40:30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
