My wife and I are in Louisiana visiting her grandmother in the nursing home and I saw so many elderly folks  sitting in the hallways waiting for family who probably weren't coming and it almost made me tear up. This last year my wife and I both lost our very lucrative jobs. We had to put our home and acreage up for lease,  then we had to take a Loss in the sale of a couple vehicles but through all of this God blessed us with a beautiful healthy baby girl and a couple of jobs that put food on the table and keep the lights on. When I looked at the hopeless desperation in the old gray eyes of the lonely folks in that nursing home, it made me thankful that God gave me health and strength and a work ethic that drives me to keep plodding along with faith in his promises. I am now a youth pastor and I work with kids who have everything they could ever desire and while I love those kids like play cousins, I am now all the more thankful for the fact that I have what I have.

Gods word says consider it all pure joy when you encounter hardships of many kinds because the testing of your faith moulds godly character. I Finnally get it
Thank you God
