My Morning Epiphany: Don't Lay Down, Get Back Up

I'm that inflatable clown I may get knocked down, but I ALWAYS get back up!

Years ago while attending a rather large church the pastor called for a “family meeting”. In it he discussed the finances, vision, progress and challenges. They were very transparent! Prior to the meeting they sent out a survey of sorts. It asked how you thought they were doing, do you feel comfortable there and what would you say is your greatest characteristic or trait?

I remember writing down that I’m that inflatable clown I may get knocked down, but I ALWAYS get back up! Imagine my surprise when the pastor shares my trait in front of everyone. Looking back on it now I understand. Resiliency. We ALL need it. Life.

Challenges knock you down or at least back at times. During those times (we all have them) don’t lay down, get back up! Get back up as quickly as you can.
