Finally moving home after a two-year rebuild.

I truly believe that living in a state of gratitude can get you through most of life’s adversities. This takes a tremendous amount of faith. I know this sounds esoteric, but when the lightning destroyed our home, I focused primarily on how grateful I was that my kids were safe.

In life, your misfortune could always be worse. Find ways to be grateful that it’s not.

Your attitude towards setbacks will determine how you overcome them.

Will you be the victim or the Victor?
——
James 1:2-4
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.
