The Power of Words

The past couple of days have proven to be rather difficult for me and today one of my interns said 7 words that put it all into perspective.

"all good things must come to an end"

Such simple words, but when combined and spoken to me at the time that they were had a tremendous impact on me. I've heard them before but never during a time in which they were so applicable. Stephen said them in reference to the hockey championship that his team had lost over the weekend (he plays for the URI club team), but despite the differences in context for which they were said and to which I applied them, they rang true and relevant and could not have come at a better time.

However universal words or sentences may be, it is always interesting to see how, at a time when you are desperately seeking guidance, they appear in the least likely of places. Sometimes they appear in the obvious places such as in the media or in a magazine, but other times they come in forms that you would never expect, such as in the form of an intern who had just lost an important game. God works in funny ways, and it may just be that he sends his messages through these least likely forms. Just some food for thought and encouragement to always keep your eyes and ears open for the nuggets of wisdom that He sends you that will help you through a tough time.
