"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

"Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
    and his wonderful deeds for mankind.
Let them sacrifice thank offerings
    and tell of his works with songs of joy."
Psalm 107:21-22


Thanking God in all circumstances is difficult, isn't it!  I find it easier to trust during trials than to thank God, and I want to work harder on thankfulness.  Although I posted this verse a couple of weeks ago, it's a gentle reminder to me to give thanks!
In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18  
Please continue to pray for Braxton (six year old neighbor with brain cancer).  University of Alabama football players and our head coach Nick Saban have called him offering encouragement.  

Until next time...

Blessings!
