There is always a reason...

Many of you know that we experienced some snow last Saturday. Seeing it is APRIL, the snowstorms were totally unexpected...

Well on Tuesday, I went to my MOPS group and a lady came to speak to us about grace. She began to tell us a story about how her step-son had been in and out of drug rehab facilities 3-4 different times. He had just checked himself into another rehab last week. His dad came to visit him and his son began to tell him why he thought none of the other rehab facilities had been able to help him. He said the first step to the twelve steps of recovery was to believe in a higher power and he didn't. He knew since he just checked into a new place, and they were going to come at him with the "higher power" thing. He said to God, "If you are real, if you exist make it hail on my birthday. No, that's too easy. Make it snow on my birthday."

Well, his birthday was Saturday.

God is so amazing! I was complaining about the snow, but there is a reason for everything. :) You never know how a trial or a difficult time can influence someone else. Remember to praise God in every situation because he knows best!
