All experiences are not the best. Each of us have experienced trials and tribulations of our own in our past. I was reminded the other day as I was driving home in the rain, that trouble won’t last always and once it is in your past, it’s behind you. As I drove home the other night, I looked in the rearview mirror and noticed how dark the sky looked, but on the road ahead the sky was brighter.
