Some folks think that becoming a Christian means gaining complete freedom from all our troubles. Not true! In fact, God never promised any of us a rose garden. Well, He gave us a perfect garden, but that was quickly lost when man thought He was smarter than God.
We are going to have difficulty in our lives until we pass into eternity. However, our troubles here on earth don’t have to overwhelm us and send us into a deep depression. Some “Christians” believe that if you have trouble in your life it is because of something you’ve done to put yourself out of favor with God.
God’s mercy is beyond our wisdom. He has placed these trials in our lives to make us stronger and yet completely dependent on Him for help.
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
Thank you, Lord, for daily strengthening me with your truth. May your gift of peace give me hope to endure each day.

Hi I’ve nominated you for WordPress Very Inspiring Blogger Award. You may already been through this, it’s all new to me. If you’re not interested in participating – that’s fine but perhaps you’ll get a few extra well-deserved readers just from the nomination as I posted your URL on my WordPress site. Go here for an explanation.

OK I read the instructions, but I guess I’m an old dog and don’t know about new tricks so I ask for your help. Do I repost your blog? I know I need to write something about myself, but I’m not sure about the rest. Awards aren’t important to me except the sweetness with which they are given, so maybe I should just pass on this one. Thanks!

You can copy and past the instructions off my post, then when you write your post you link to me alotfromlydia. I copied the photo of the award and added it to my post. This is a time consuming endeavor! I’m not sure if I did it right either, but it took 2 days of my writing time, so I gave up and posted it.
