The Parable of the Chinese Farmer

[@stacywilliams5943]

As a Christian and maybe a naturally overoptimistic person, I see evidence that 'God works all things for the good of those who love him,' as a promise. With every potentially devastating blow, I see an opportunity for God to wow me once more with how he makes beauty from ashes.

This was my friend Anthony’s favorite story. He recently passed away May 29, he had a scythe tattooed on his head in representation of this story, he was a great man with great demons but life never fooled him. Much love everyone.

Good and bad are just concepts humans use to put labels on circumstances. A lion rips apart a gazelle, so does that make the gazelle good and does that make the lion bad? No. The lion hunting the gazelle is the natural order of things and so it is with everything that happens in the universe.
