Verse of the day

"[Trials and Temptations] Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance."- James 1:2-3 Today's passage is from the New International Version. Hugs, Sandyd

Sandy - only by His spirit in me am I able to come close to doing this! Praise the Lord! Thank you!!! - Carolyn

Sandy, it is God alone that is getting me through these trials that I am going through right now. I know that with these trials some day God may be able to use me to help someone else who may be going through the same thing. I talked to momma this morning and she is not feeling good. She made it through chemo without feeling sick but Friday was a bad day for her. She woke up early throwing up and ended up sleeping all day long, which I am sure she needed to do. Please continue to pray for her. Shel

I continue to pray that you both are strengthened during your trials and God will keep you in his loving arms to see you throught this. I wish I were there to give you a big hug Shel. These are the times of test. Last night I watched "The Passion" again and it reminds me that we have a savior who can identify with our suffering because he too had great suffering while he was in the flesh. Come back for support whenever you need it. Hugs, Sandyd

Boy does this fit!! I must constantly keep this in mind. God is carrying my family through some rough times, but I think our blessings are going to follow very soon. Valena
