Faith and Endurance

A dear friend gave me this scripture today and I wanted to share it with everyone:

James 1: 2-5
Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

Troubles, we all have them, sometimes one may have more than others, but we do all have them. We need to try to face the pain, the trouble with a positive outlook - if that is at all possible. Because we are going through our troubles for a reason and in the end we can look back and say, I became a stronger person, or this is what I learned from my trouble. And God is always there he is never going to leave us alone in our troubles, he will help us grow through them.

To the "anonymous" person who left the comment about dad - YES I agree, we have an AWESOME dad, he never complains or gripes about what he is going through. I know there are tough days but he is doing his best to enjoy each and every day. I am truly blessed and honored to have him as my dad - I couldn't ask for a better teacher, a better friend, a better DAD. Thank you whoever left that message!

Much love to all,
