I might even suggest they do the opposite because, at the other end of the spectrum from courage, strength, and understanding, where we are uncertain, weak and confused, God is at His best.<br />Praying God's comfort and blessings on you and your family in this new year.

May you both continue to carry the grateful memory of how you have been upheld while you thought you were drowning and may you celebrate all the great memories of your cottage life, for example, as gifts to polish and retain, because you HAVE had them. Prayers for all of your family. Unemployment is not fun, but I've found that it, too, can bring amazing insights and cause us to call upon parts of ourselves that we'd not truly explored, God-given gifts we are meant to use, with God's guidance<br />.

I do love reading your perspective and how the difficult has helped you acknowledge your "weakness" and need for the Lord. And through this He has demonstrated His strength. It's a lesson for all of us.<br /><br />Praying for continued revelation and healing for your husband.Ian Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192687613923596829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-4888540365202548352017-01-05T08:56:50.160-08:002017-01-05T08:56:50.160-08:00Thank you, Ruth.
