Consider it pure joy ... whenever you face trials

I pray that all the moms had a great Mother’s Day. I enjoyed dinner with my Mama over the weekend. My Mama means the world to me, and she has helped me become the man I am today.

I am so thankful for all of the time that I have been able to spend with her. We have been able to travel several places together in the past and I just enjoy my time that I get to spend with her.

Fifteen years ago on Mother’s Day weekend, my brother was killed in an accident. I don’t understand why it happened, but my faith in Christ has grown because of it.

In life, trials and heartaches will come our way. However, we must push through the difficult times and persevere so that we grow and become stronger.

Many things happen in life that may be a burden on us. Sickness, finance issues, and death are some of the major problems that people may have to deal with in their lifetime, although there can be many other trials that come our way.
