I just heard a wonderful sermon about character and how the "fires" we go through shape our character. It was so true--the hotter the fire, the purer the metal and that extends to all of us. We tend to think that the people who are peaceful and happy must not have any hardship in life but that is not always true. The pastor said that a woman accused her of having an easy life and that everything works out for her because she was so peaceful. The paster noted that she has a peace that doesn't make any sense because lots of things have gone wrong. She told the woman of her 10 miscarriages and 3 children stillborn and said her peace means that God is working even when her life isn't.

I wanted to share that in this thread because it's full of posts of things that have gone wrong. But we've all prayed for each other and sent good thoughts to everyone. Even when our lives aren't working, I believe God still is and I'm praying that every situation in this thread is healed soon. I wish peace for all of you. ♥
