An Ever Present God

Good Morning, My Friend! I believe that it's the difficult times that help us to grow in our understanding of God,....and of each other. During hard times, our eyes are opened to see that love is more than some sugar and candy-like feelings. Love, like happiness, comes from a deep, and abiding trust that should increase as we mature in our relationships,.....especially with God, our Heavenly Father, and His Son, Jesus.

The joy of the LORD is your strength.—Nehemiah 8:10 (NRSV)

As we grow older and looked back on life, we can see that everyone has good times,...as well as times of grief, discouragement, and despondency. God is always there, through it all. All we can do is pray and give thanks daily that God would care for us, strengthen us, and continue to provide for the needs of our families.

Have faith,...and cling to the promise that God will never desert us.
