A STRONG FAITH by Brenda McDaniel

There are many seasons of faith when you are a Christian. Seasons that test your faith. Almost every year living in this world is hard, testing your resolve as a Christian. As in this last year with death, illness, riots, bigotry, and division. Lies and hatred in the highest political offices, not working together as a political body, just constant bickering. But there were many heroes too that put others before themselves. They risked their lives to save others and gave all they could to help others in need.

It has also been hard in my family’s lives this year. But with the strength of our Lord Jesus Christ, we all overcame. My brother had tongue cancer twice and now is cancer-free. My cousin and her husband both had cancer, (breast and lung), and they are better but still fighting. My niece had a terrible car wreck near Christmas. She was ejected out of the car window into a ditch, suffering a broken clavicle and a traumatic brain injury. After many weeks of being in intensive care, she survived. The only remaining side effect being a slight loss of short-term memory, but otherwise, she is in good health. My fiance’s daughter nearly died of asthma but survived three times. A hurricane hit near their house. They survived by staying in the basement all night.

So, count your blessings and miracles. You will see the Lord is always with you, even till the end of ime.

“The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever.” (Psalm 37:18 KJV)
