The
audio is basically talking about the blessing of an unexpected gift. A gift
which is not quite pretty came to the speaker around five months ago, which
turned her life in the way she hadn’t expected. The gift is worthy of $55,000,
but Amazon doesn’t carry it; Apple logo is not on it; and waiting list doesn’t
have it. It is a brain cancer, which is the experience that the speaker wouldn’t
change. It is an unexpected gift that made her redefined the meaning and the
value of life. She said, “Imagine, if you will a gift.” The gift can be pictured
in our mind. It doesn’t need to be big; yet it will do lots incredible things
for us. It will bring all of our family together, making us feel loved,
appreciated, and all the great feelings that we haven’t felt before. The
speaker looks upon her disease as a gift because she calibrated what’s the most
important thing in her life during that tough period. The gift brought new
understanding, trust, and energy to her body. Also, she met new people and had healthier
life style. People may think it is pathetic to suffer from a cancer;
nevertheless, it gave the speaker more time thinking about her life and having
much time doing absolutely nothing but enjoying leisure time. It let human
heart challenged, inspired, motivated, and humbled. It is not just a cancer but
a gift that endowed the speaker with peace, happiness, health, and surrendered
self. By sharing her experience, the speaker tried to tell us that sometime
when we encounter something that is unexpected, unwanted, or uncertain, just
consider it is just maybe a gift. A gift doesn’t need to be expensive or fancy,
but it should be valuable and meaningful. Value is not equal to the price of
the thing but to the influence it has on human beings. Thus, the gift may
disguise in an ugly appearance but still be precious. Don’t feel terrible as we
meet something that seems not so good, because it may be a blessing that
strengthen the quality of life.
I like the idea that encountering
something unexpected isn’t a bad thing. People like to plan things, but
sometimes life starts messing up as we keep planning on it. Sometimes just go
as our will, and then we’ll find the place that is belonged to us. We all like
to lead a comfortable and regular life, and we are used to it. Therefore we
refuse to the change in life. We try hard to protect us from the irregular,
while the unexpected, the unwanted, or the uncertain is inevitable in human
lives. God created us, he wants us to learn things that we are lack of. A life
without difficulty is not qualified to be called life. Difficulties, suffering,
or unlucky things are actually lessons that lord provided for us to take. Gifts
are not always good-looking. It is sometimes put under the tough. Only those
who can conquer the dark can get the blessing. After going through many
difficulties and frustration in life, I realized that life is not a fairy tale
but a roller coaster along with thrilling. It is not always happy or fantastic,
but it is always amazing. We can be amazed by its wonder and tenacity once we
surpass our own vulnerability and fear. Do not ever surrender to our own
weakness in front of life’s danger and instability. The danger and the
instability are not always bad things. They may be the precious gifts in our
life, for everything comes to our lives must have its meaning.
