- 🍇 Once a grape is crushed, the juice can never be put back in, and similarly, there will be no going back to the normal we once knew, but rather a new normal in the current environment.
- 💡 Change is inevitable and necessary for growth, as it transforms every aspect of our lives, but many struggle to embrace it due to their attachment to the past.
- 🌳 Change cannot happen without disruption, just like planting a tree disrupts the soil, and when you pray for change, God answers with disruption because he has something better for you.

- 🍇 Embrace the changes in the world and prepare for what’s next, as the challenge of our lives is to turn our crushing experiences into something greater, like wine, rather than trying to rebuild what was lost.
