Dear brothers & sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.
James 1:2

Said It Before, Sayin It Again..
...we've gotta have joy & we gotta be laughing. When it hurts & when it's hard. When we're in the valley & when we're under a cloud. When we're sick & when we're broke. Last week, Raul snapped this pic just before they took me away to the operating room. I don't show this pic to brag & I don't show it to get pity. I show it because when I look at this, I can see that even when it's tough, the joy of the Lord is my strength!
Dear brothers & sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.
