There are very trying times right now, with the pandemic, rioting, and wild fires. There are some things I have seen while facing trials:

1. We draw closer to God and others.
2. We see things more clearly.
3. We become more compassionate.

It happens time after time.

I am from Oregon and we have been devasted with wild fires. People have died and over 600 homes destroyed. This would normaly cause widespread depression, and panic.

It is not happening.

The people who lost their homes are out helping others to sift through the rubble to try to find some memories for them. People in my neighborhood have opened their doors for those displayed. People have volunteered to hand out water, food, and masks.

People are very tired of the rioting, and have bonded together to confront the rioters. It is not pretty, but the rioters are gettng the message.

Here are some more thoughts I love to share. You also seem to like them. (Let me know)

1. Forget what others think you are.
2. God is love, so we sshould love one another.
3. Perfect love casts out fear.
4. Praying is not just for praying. It is to speak to God.
5. Reading the Bible is not the goal. The goal is to grow spiritually while reading the Bible.
6. Only through death can we find life.
7. Every pain, every disappointment, is covered by Jesus’s love.
8. Live life like you are expecting Jesus to come.
9. Be joyful; be prayful, and be grateful. (Always without ceasing)
10. Through affliction, we know that God will do something greater.
11. We need to be more concerned about God’s glory.
12. We should obey God even if we are in pain.
13. If one suffers all of us suffer. If one is honored, all of us are glad.
14. Envy: Painful or resentful of some one’s possession. Leads to dissatisfacton, discontentment.
15. Always look at the cross. It reminds you to trust.
16. Are we just living, or are we living life well?
17. Are we trusting the Lord to lead us, or are we wanting the Lord to do things our way?
18. Are we mangaing our time to serve the Lord; our responsiblities, or our relationships?
19. Do we need to be desparate to read the Bible? Are we willing to let God give us the desire to do so?
20. You come to a crossroad. There only two directions to go. Left is wisdom, and the right is folly. Which way will you go?

I always suggest you go through those thoughts one at a time and ponder them. Much wisdom could come from them.

What is your life like?

Are you happy? Do you think life is great, or are you depressed with what is going on around you? Never let the dark side overcome you!! Reach for the light. Yes, there are many painful things happening right now, but always remember God is in charge. Stay strong and alway lean on Him for His love.
