Sometimes I think that my life is so stressed that I have no more room for the bad times. In reality, though, I know that God is in control and that He will allow only that which I need in order to learn the lessons at hand. Thank you, LORD, for the lessons.
Merry Christmas everyone. I will likely not be on the computer too much in the next few days as I will be visiting family. I'll be back to approve comments and visit again soon.
Be sure to check out Thankful Thursday with Iris.

Riat,
I have loved sharing TT with you this past year. You are a rich blessing in my life. Love you.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you and yours - bad times or no. ((hugs))
Hi Rita - It's never easy to go through difficult times, but God allows those things in order to grow us in our faith.
Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas.
Yes, thank Him for the lessons learned. As I look back at not only the past year but my entire life, I can see SO much needless heartache because I was not willing to let go and trust Him completely!
I'm learning,though,and am more than willing to let Him 'direct my paths' now.
Blessings to you!
lessons we have learned each day is a good way of thanking God, indeed. happy TT, and merry christmas. cheers!
Merry Christmas to you as well!
