Hubs and I have been through many hard times. We've had many losses of family, difficulty with teenagers, financial hardships, illnesses -- all those "plagues" that 50 years of marriage and living in the adult world bring. But... at my lowest... God sets somebody down in front of me that has it so much harder than I do, and I understand that "stuff happens" that we have to endure for whatever reason -- perhaps because we're human and living in this world -- perhaps to "toughen" us or to teach us something, maybe it's a test, maybe it's just because there are certain things that cannot be avoided. I think that's beyond my understanding sometimes. But when I think how much worse things could be, and how we are all on Earth for such a short time and that beyond this life is something better than we have ever known here, I understand that God probably thinks my thinking is somewhat narrow minded and then I feel a little guilty for not appreciating the blessings that I have.<br /><br />May you be blessed and always know that you are. Prayers being sent your way. --Ilene in OklahomaRockWhispererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204125716550161500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-8833869281194804742017-07-04T07:51:40.925-04:002017-07-04T07:51:40.925-04:00Thinking of your family this morning and proclaimi...Thinking of your family this morning and proclaiming God's Word, his promises for you, with love and hugs and prayers.
