Wine-bottle Opening

Wine-bottle opening is a skill. Maybe I don't have enough strength. Maybe I didn't have enough skill. Whatever it is, I still have a hard time opening wine bottles. Fri-31/3, worked up a sweat trying to pull the bloody cork out of the bottle. In the end, I asked for help. My arm's still aching now.

While straining against the bottle, I recalled this story of a man trying to move a huge rock. He pushed against it every day but it didn't move. Finally, one day, the man complained to God about that and God told the man to look at his arms. They'd grown muscular from the effort of pushing the rock. God was trying to say that obstacles are put in place for us to push against and overcome and become stronger.

What did I learn?
1) Not all obstacles can be overcome.
2) Some obstacles cannot be overcome by yourself. There are times when we have to ask for help.
