View From The Front Porch-Stan Hitchcock-February 11, 2013

When the skies seem so cloudy, and suddenly a little blue starts showing through...that's a blessing waiting to happen. When you're tired of the journey, and the way seems mighty rocky, look a little closer...see the trace of a trail to follow...for the Waymaker has gone ahead of you to clear the way....if you had given up you would have missed it completely. I believe, from personal experience, that just before the Lord has something good in store for you, there is a period of testing to prepare you for what is to come, testing sharpens us and reminds us where our strength comes from. Be strong in your Faith, find Joy in the everyday pleasures of life, content to walk with Him wherever He leads. Contentment is the biggest achievement you can attain, it has nothing to do with success, fame or money, it has everything to do with the simple fact of knowing He holds tomorrow, and being secure in that knowledge. Hold fast, my friends, no matter what challenges you are going through, know that God loves us and wants the very best for us in life. We are not alone...ever.  Stan
