"Just Enough Light for the Step I'm On".
We didn't play so much golf, as cool temperatures combined with intermittent rains kept most indoors. So you know, the combination did not dampen our spirits.
We will be playing more as we prepare to support The Bethany House by way of participating in their Annual Golf Tournament.
For the most part, this group of ours would not be easily mistaken for serious golfers.
We are serious about having fun and spreading salt and light wherever we can...but serious as in keeping score and who wins, who loses. Not so much!
Supporting The Bethany House may give us a few more opportunities to shine a light in a few dark places..
We are really enjoying the study, not to mention camaraderie as we discover the many ways God refines and sifts us. We have learned He is into A's, big time and if we don't get the benefit of a trial or struggle, we will find ourselves back in it until we do.
One of several elements we are encouraged to use as we weather these storms is gratitude and praise.
Remembering what and where God has delivered us from, perhaps keeping a gratitude and praise journal. As you face various trials you can hold fast to what God has done for us in the past and know that He will do no less in the future.
"Through faith in Jesus we have received God's grace. In that grace we stand. We are full of joy because we expect to share in God's glory. And that's not all. We are full of joy even when we suffer. We know that our suffering gives us the strength to go on. The strength to go on produces character. Character produces hope. And hope will never let us down. God has poured his love into our hearts. He did it through the Holy Spirit, whom he has given to us."
In closing, enjoy the following testimony of lives that have Praising Him in the storms and come out on the other side, with the abundance of blessing.
God bless you,
