A thought

I am sorry that I have been away. I probably will not be posting on Sundays as they are quite busy. My husband has one day off every other week and that was yesterday. When he is home I am not on the computer much. Today, my neighbor had a crisis and I have been with her. I will post a recipe tomorrow.
As for the devotion, I am just going to share a bit of my heart.
There is a statement that I have heard often. It is that sometimes God will bring a trial into your life so you can use it to help someone else through theirs. The last time I heard that I was deep in the middle of hardship and that didn't seem like a good answer to a trial. I surrender my trials to the Lord and ask him to use them but that use just didn't seem like a good use. Now I am on the other side of the trial, still coming out but seeing the light. Let me tell you when someone is standing infront of you with tears coming down their face and you can say "I have been there and God can not only bring you through this but make you better for it" and be an encouragement to them, it is all worth while. There are many reasons we go through trials one is in fact that we can help others through theirs. Take heart if you are in the midst of one now. God has something for you. Don't give up before he brings the blessings.
