You never know if it's good or bad until years later.
I heard the following story while I was in high school from one of my best friends, Travis Kunce, who is no longer with us, and it stuck with me ever since...⠀
⠀
There lived an old farmer who had worked in his fields for many, many years. One day, his horse bolted away. His neighbors dropped in to commiserate with him. “What awful luck,” they tut-tutted sympathetically, to which the farmer only replied, “We’ll see.”⠀
⠀
The next morning, to everyone’s surprise, the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. “How amazing is that!” they exclaimed in excitement. The old man replied, “We’ll see.”⠀
⠀
A day later, the farmer’s son tried to mount one of the wild horses. He was thrown on the ground and broke his leg. Once more, the neighbors came by to express their sympathies for this stroke of bad luck. “We’ll see,” said the farmer politely.⠀
⠀
The next day, the village had some visitors – military officers who had come with the purpose of drafting young men into the army. They passed over the farmer’s son, thanks to his broken leg. The neighbors patted the farmer on his back – how lucky he was to not have his son join the army! “We’ll see,” was all that the farmer said!⠀
⠀
The question for you is…⠀
⠀
What meaning are you giving to your current situation? ⠀
⠀
All I can say to myself is, “We’ll See!”⠀
⠀
Keep hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.⠀
⠀
Sending love and light to all of you during these uncertain times.⠀
