Sometimes things are uncomfortable because God never intended for us to stay in that place, that relationship, or that job permanently. As a matter of fact, perhaps God never ordained this particular experience, and this discomfort is His way of getting us back on His path.

It’s more about creepy chocolate bunnies, chickens, eggs, and the arrival of the season of spring. Who wants to focus on anything as morbid as death? Let’s forget that and turn the celebration into a shopping fest.
