There are few things in this life that are all pleasure or all pain. Boat life has its share of both as does childbirth, or raising children, getting a degree, or getting married. When you think about it, most of our joys in life are a mix of struggle and reward. The popular saying, “No pain no gain,” and “No cross, no crown,” express this. The Spirit of Jesus teaches us to not ruin the pleasure by complaining about the pain.
