Brother Jeff shared this poem last Sunday during our adult Victory Bible Class. We're studying the book of Genesis and this poem illustrated how we learn from our trials.
I walked a mile with Pleasure,
She chattered all the way;
But left me none the wiser,
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow
And ne'er a word said she;
But, oh, the things I learned from her
When Sorrow walked with me!
-- Robert Browning Hamilton
