Verse of the day

"Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."- Romans 5:3-4 Today's passage is from the New International Version. Hugs, Sandyd

Thanks Sandy! Have a blessed day! - Carolyn

This verse reminds me of where I came from. Five years ago Monday, I quit drinking for the second time. I went to AA, and started working the program. At the same time we were putting our house on the market, because we were going through a divorce. By December, our house had been sold, I moved into an apartment, my son returned from college on heroin, and my daughter was getting married. I thought I was being put through the wringer. Well, the Lord brought me through all of that, sober and praising Him. My son is off heroin now, and I was able to go to graduate school and complete my degree, and begin working part time jobs in my new career. God is good, all the time. Hugs, Trish

My son too was addicted to heroin and never really came out of it. He went to treatment two times but is always going back to the drugs. I still pray for him. You are to be commended for getting your life back on track. God is faithful. Hugs, Sandyd
