We have not been promised a life that is full of good and happy things all the time. We will have seasons where everything will be going great, and we will feel so excited for things to come but there will also be times where we will go through really difficult seasons. Health issues, loss of loved ones, financial problems, seeing our kids hurting and stresses in marriage are just a few of the things that can happen. Everyone at some point in life will face something they never expected and will be left feeling sad and confused.
I have had some of those hard seasons and I know there will probably be plenty more things that may come my way that will be hard, and I just won’t understand but when those times come, I am thankful that I know that God is my

I am thankful that no matter what hardships lie ahead for my family and that no matter where God leads us, I know without a shadow of a doubt that He is these things to me and will never leave me to fight battles alone. I can look to Him to be my help at all times, and He will be my immense calm during the storms of life.
Thankful!!
