We woke up to another beautiful day, but for some maybe not so beautiful.

August 1, 2025

We woke up to another beautiful day, but for some maybe not so beautiful. For a loved one might be sick or even you, or you may have financial problems, or your relationship may be on the rocks. Sometimes life can get downright hard. As people of faith, we have what others do not have and that is our God. So, when life comes at you in all different directions remember God is there. When life throws you lemons, remember God is there. God is with us through the good and the bad and the ugly. God is with us on good days and not so good days. God restores us when we are weary, when we are frustrated, when we are lost, when life is going in the wrong direction. God is with us. Isaiah 40:31 tells us, “…but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.” So, whatever you are going through remember God is there. He will hold you up. He will renew your strength. For God is with you always and forever. God Bless. Amen.
