AMENGod, who gives us so much to be feel happy, also knows that we learn and grow and become stronger as we face and survive the trials through which we must pass. We know that there are times when we will experience heartbreaking sorrow, when we will grieve, and when we may be tested to our limits. However... such difficulties allow us to change for the better, to rebuild our lives in the way God teaches us, and to become something different from what we were—better than we were, more understanding than we were, more empathetic than we were, with stronger testimonies than we had before. There is so much we can take away from trials .. sorrow..hard times. Lessons to be learned. Feelings that we will someday be able to say honestly to someone .. I know..how you feel.
This should be our purpose—to persevere and endure... yes, but also to become more spiritually refined as we make our way through sunshine and sorrow.
Going through some tough times right now myself. Won't go into detail here. Just asking for prayers. Yes, my health, and family matters. We have a large family. Things do happen, here and there. Right now, it's pretty close. A son, and a brother in law.
Man, this getting older thing is not fun. Have to say though, sure have had some wonderful times in my past. A lot to be grateful for!
