Thanks so much for the reminder of the hope that comes with the hard... if we have faith to claim it. After chasing small bugs in my home for several months and feeling so discouraged about getting on top of them, I needed that reminder (again!)... and I hope I have a heart open enough to learn whatever God wants to show me! I think the biggest thing for me is to trust His heart, His love, His plan, that it is good, that He is good!

Thanks for sharing! The word "trust" really popped out to me. It, like hope, can be hard, but it makes all the difference. 💓

I’m so sorry about all the sickness. That makes the entire world feel wretched.

Thanks for sharing hope with the rest of us. I feel encouraged to keep plugging away at some situations that feel impossible.

"Wretched." Yes. I'm so glad we're through that all for the time being.

I hope the answers and resolutions come more quickly than you dare to hope.

Oh how I run from those hard things, even if I know that it is a means of growth and beauty!

Same. It seems I can't find the beauty in the hard things until they are past. One day I hope to be mature enough to see the good while I'm in the middle of the hard.
