Do you know what this thing is?

Funny enough, it is a “false ceiling” that came on my recent deodorant purchase. Basically it keeps the deodorant safe from any crushing damage that could cause the actual lid compress into the deodorant stick.

Why am I writing about this?

Because in our world, there are lots of things that would damage us should we not have an extra layer of protection. And I’m not talking about physical damage or physical protection.

When life throws crushing troubles (or even minor troubles) at you, realize the false ceiling layers that save you and help you get through (relatively) unscathed.

Whether that layer is your faith in God, your friendship circle, your mental fortitude, or your ability to realize that the problem isn’t what damages you, it’s how you choose to respond, or a combination of those and many more, the reality is you will make it through.

Sometimes it is easy to forget we have these layers of protection and we take them for granted.

Sometimes, the situation is so hard we forget they are there.

However, if we just take the time (especially in good times) to remember these protections, they serve us well when called upon.

Have a fantastic Tuesday!
