THE BEAUTY OF A FOREST FIRE ANALOGY FOR THOSE IN PAIN:

THOUGHT TO PONDER AND BE THANKFUL FOR

A forest fire is destructive. It rages and ravages. It claims life. It destroys. It scars.

But, do you want to know the secret beauty of a forest fire? Most of the trees seeds require fire to burst their seed so they can grow. A fire brings forth life. And, the trees and vegetation come back fuller, stronger, more beautiful.

That's the beauty of a forest fire. True beauty. Scorching fire and burning, combined with the loss of life, brings new, stronger more beautiful life. 

That's the way it is supposed to be with the life-changing-on-a-dime moments of our lives. They are the fire. We can then have stronger, fuller, more beautiful lives that burst forth because of the burn. If we choose it.
