Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

8 : 28 And we know that those who love God all things work together for good, that is, who according to His purpose are called. Romans

A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard. Did not know how to move forward and wanted to give up. I was tired of fighting. It seemed that when solving a problem arose.

His father, a chef, took her to the workplace. She filled three pots with water and placed on the fire. Soon the water of the pots came to boil. In one he placed carrots, in other eggs, and the last grains of coffee. Let them boil without saying a word. The daughter waited patiently, wondering what he was doing. After twenty minutes she turned off the fire. She fished the carrots out and placed over a bowl. Pulled the eggs out and placed them on a plate. Then she ladled the coffee out and poured into a cup.

Looking at her daughter told her: "Honey do you see?

"Carrots, eggs and coffee," was the reply.

brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. Then asked to take an egg and break it. By pulling off the shell, she observed that the egg was hard. He then asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.

The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, Father?" He explained that these objects had faced the same adversity, boiling water , but had reacted differently: The carrot went in strong, hard. But after going through the boiling water, had become weak, easy to undo. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. Coffee beans, however, were unique. After being in boiling water, had changed the aroma and taste of water.

Which are you?, He asked his daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? How are you? Are you a carrot that seems strong, but when the pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength? Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart? "Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a separation, divorce or a layoff have you become hardened and stiff? Your shell looks the same, but are you bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart? Or are you a coffee bean? The bean changes the water, the element that causes pain. When the water reaches the boiling point of coffee is at its best flavor.

At heart, I wish you try to be like the coffee bean when things do go wrong and you can make your surroundings better. Remember everything that happens in life is for some reason, you just need to discover their purpose and learn from it.
