Grandmother says. .... Carrots, Eggs, or coffee;which ar u?... A young woman went 2 her grandma n told her abt her life n hw tins wer so hard 4 her dat she didnt knw hw she would make it..n wantd 2 GIVE UP.she was tired of fighting n struggling, it seemed as 1 problm solved a new 1 arose.. Her grandma took her 2 d kitchen, she filled 3 pots wit water, in each pots she placed carrots, eggs, ground coffee bean.she let them sit n boil without saying a word. In abt 20mins she turned off d burners. She fished d carrots n placed them in a bowl, she pulled d eggs out n also placed them in a bowl, then she ladled the coffee out n placed in s bowl..turning 2 her granddaughter she asked tell me wat do u see? Carrots, Eggs,n coffeeshe replied She brought her closer n asked her 2 feel d carrots n she did n noted they got soft, she then asked her 2 take an egg n brk it after pulling off d shell, she observed d hard boiled egg.finally she asked her 2 sip d coffee..she smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.she then asked..whats d point grandma? her grandma explained that each of dese objects had faced dsame adversity-boiling water-but each reacted differently. D carrots went in strong, hard n unrelenting. However after being subjected 2 d boiling water, it softened n became weak.D eggs had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But after all its inside bcame hardened. D ground coffee bean ar unique after they were in d boiling water they had changed d water.WHICH ARE U?she asked...when adversity knocks on ur door, how do u respond? AR U A CARROT,AN EGG, OR A COFFEE? Think of this:which am I? Am I the CARROT that seems strong bt with pain n adversity, do I wilt n become soft n lose my strength? Am I the Egg that starts wit a mall6 hrt, bt changes wit d heat? Did I hav a fluid spirit; bt after a death, a brkup, a financial hardship or some other trial, hav I become hardened n stiff? Though my shell luk dsame, bt on the inside am I bitter n tough wit a stiff spirit n a hardened hrt? OR... Am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstances that brings d pain.when d water gets hot, it releases d fragrance n flavor. If u ar like d bean wen tins are @ their worst, u get better n change d situation around u.. When the hours ar the darkest n trials ar their great, do u elevate 2 another level? Learn 2 find JOY in ur daily struggle in life! Life is hard bt Tough times never last, Tough people do....have a blessed day!
