“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
James 1:2-4 NIV
It is so good to be back home with the kids. It's been a whirlwind 8 days of coming and going for Tim and I and now we get to settle into some homecoming activities this weekend. Ahhh.....
This scripture reminds us this morning that this life is short (we told Devin ..."high school is a blip on the radar!" ) and there are many lessons we can learn or we can skip over without even realizing it. How much better to let our faith bring us to more and more maturity and understanding of the purpose of our life. When we embrace the process of trials they refine us and change us and we settle into a contentment and peace that comes from only Him. Lacking nothing. Amen!
