Life is like a rollercoaster

Did you ever think to yourself that your life is like a roller coaster?

I have.

But it suddenly struck me. Life may be a roller coaster, steep inclines, sharp drops. Dizzying heights that crash down into the lowest point imaginable. Sure, life is like a roller coaster.

But- Think about it for a minute. When you go on a roller coaster, do you have to worry about your safety? True, for some people roller coasters are far from enjoyable, but, either way, when you get into that little cart, you know that you don't have to be afraid for your safe return...that the roller coaster runs on a pre-designed track, and that, no matter how much you get thrown around, no matter how high you climb or how low you fall, you will always be being guided toward your safe return....

That's where Emunah comes in and sometimes it's really hard on a roller coaster to calm down and not be afraid that the little tiny car is gonna derail......

I love roller coaster mashalim... There are so many ways to look at it.. this is a new one to me, but it is so true! This summer I went a roller coaster and when I stood in line to go on, I could hear the screams of the riders, but did that stop me from going on? No way...
You're so right (again :D ), we go on, we're not scared, because we know we're going to be ok... the tracks keep us on the right path, the machine operator is trained to help us when we need it... whoa... that's another mashal right there!
Thanks so much for posting this... it really got me thinking...
whoa....
