I volunteer at a farm animal sanctuary; we rescue farmed animals from eventual slaughter. We have quite a few special needs animals because they are not worth the expense to farmers.
Another volunteer said to me: The animals' disabilities literally saved their lives. If they weren't disabled, they would have been killed.
That got me to thinking about "disabilities" -- challenges, shadow stuff -- in a fresh way. It inspired me to be almost eager to look at those undesirable things in hopes of learning what it can teach me, spiritually.
Can challenges of whatever nature "save our lives?"
Have any of you had such an experience ... when a challenge "saved your life?"
