Endurance is sometimes the only difference between success and failure.
Our experience in Castle Valley and Sunflower Hill Bed and Breakfast Inn didn't come about because it was easy. Years of effort, decades of patience, and literally bags of money have been used to bring about the goals of the ventures started so many years ago. And what do we have to show for it. Millions of dollars? Buckets of gold? Chests of worldly treasures? No, but that was never the goal. So what has all the hard work, resources, time, and effort brought us? Here are a few of the perhaps less obvious benefits of these ventures:
- Love of work
- Blessings of obedience
- Learning from mistakes
- Importance of family unity
- Haven of the gospel
We can accomplish anything we put our minds to. The road to success is fraught with challenges that may keep us from being the best we can be.
Remembering to seek the kingdom of God first is the answer. Then there is no way you can fail.
