Our family is going through a financial trial right now.  I have undergone several medical procedures in the last year due to vascular and digestive emergencies. While things have been slow, I am grateful for the healing and provision for our family.

We are reminded of the times and trials that we have been through over the years that God never gives us more than we can handle.  We are also reminded of James 1:2-12 which says, "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation, but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away. For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits. Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him."

We are thankful to God for those that have reached out to be a blessing to our family as we seek to bring Him honor and glory through our weakness!
