Growing up in Alderson you
never think about the benefits and privileges. Naturally you would
not have the insight, wisdom, or experience to reflect on this at
the time. Many years after, I am going to do it. Larger world views
and perceptions have changed me beyond imagination, however, growing
up in the promised land and later experiences certainly provide you
with a wonderful edge in the world if you observe it from that
perspective. Alderson taught me to take nothing for granted. Life
will be a constant battle, hard struggle will be the root of all
progress. Never never take any emotion as permanent, if you desire
love you had better give more. No one will ever be a replica, we are
all very very unique. Life is never permanent, wealth ,health, joy,
sorrow , poverty, are always possible. Alderson taught me if you
want to breath, you better fight for the air. As you struggle for
survival, in the final analysis, no matter how hard you resist God
is your ultimate partner. Thanks for the privilege, thanks for the
struggle, thanks for the experience, thanks for the memory. |
