“It can be a scary world out there!”

Do you know what that is a picture of???  Would you like to live there??  What movie do you think it could be in??  Does it look scary??

Sometimes life can be pretty frightening for kids…and adults too.  There is too much sin in the world to have life on earth be a “bucket of bliss” or “basket of roses.”  Life is just plain hard sometimes, and when it is, it is so important to have faith in Jesus Christ.  Faith in Jesus allows us to know that there is victory amidst the difficulty, joy amidst the sorrow, and strength amidst our weaknesses.  Faith in Jesus is the firm foundation that will sustain us when the trials of life come.  Life can be scary, but faith in Jesus should provide us with all the comfort needed to be at peace in the trials of life.  Having peace during trials is important because there will be lots of trials in life.  Sometimes I equate having peace with having faith in Jesus.  I hope you think about it the next time you face a trial or challenge in your life.

“The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock [Jesus].”  Matthew 7:25

                                                          

Family Discussion Points!

Everyone share one thing of which they are afraid.

Everyone share about a high point of your day.  Then, everyone share about a low point of your day.  Can you have peace during both events?  Through whom??

Want to know where I took the picture?  That is a picture of downtown Mt. Clemens last Wednesday morning when all the fog rolled into town.  I was driving East on Cass Ave.  The traffic light in the picture is Southbound Gratiot.  I honestly thought there must have been a horrible accident and chemical spill of some kind.  Nope, just fog.
