When troubles come, what do we do?
Complain?
Put on a grouch?
Question why does it have to be ME?
Put on a martyr'd face?
* We had to put off Christmas celebration because of circumstances, till January. BUT it turned out just fine. Relaxed and fun.
* Hubby and I both got a serious case of covid (in spite of all precautions) in February and March. BUT, you know what? It drew me closer than ever to God. He loves us so much, and I trust in Him!!
* In late Spring hubby lost a beloved brother suddenly and unexpectedly. We were heartbroken and sad, but God gave hubby the strength to speak at his funeral. He comforted us when we needed it although we surely didn't understand the why.
* We lost close friends from our church who felt it was time for them to move on. Sad.
* Hubby and a son have been way too busy trying to complete some jobs they took on. WHICH means, they had little to no time to complete some landscaping and repairs needed on our property. Sigh.
* Hubby had a bad case of kidney stones, and I've been going through another serious physical problem.
OR...
Can we, do we look heavenward and claim the Biblical verse:
The Lord is good,
a strong hold in the day of trouble;
and he knows them that trust in him.
God has given strength to face each and every battle that has come our way this year of 2022.
Because, sure as we are breathing (right now!), God knows our problems, our very being, and He will honor His word. He cares about us and whatever befalls us, He will see us through each and everything that comes. He is our anchor!
What a wonderful God!
