blessings...

To my dearest Bible study gals...

here's a incredible song and story

of a woman finding

blessing from hardship.

Love to you...

First, the story behind the song..."Blessings."

"Blessings" by Laura Story



Lord,

Thank you for pain

even when we're in the midst of it...

help us to see

Your hand

and Your mercy

in it.

Use the painful situations we are in

to bring us closer

in our walks with You

and help us to see the

hurting people all around us.

May our pain bring encouragement

to others.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develps perseverance.  Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything....Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. ~ James 1:2-4, 12
