It’s easy to ride the waves of success. It’s also easy to accomplish goals that match your talents. It’s very easy to have an opinion after the event was long gone. Life is easy when things go our way. The reason for that is simple; there is no test of character or ability. Wouldn’t life be so relaxing if all of our events went this way? I guess it would but we all know that will not be the case. 

There is one story in the bible that has always stuck with me through all these years. It’s the story of the old poor woman who comes to church and gives a penny for the collection. She’s looked at as a cheap person but when you dig down and look into the story of this woman, it’s all she had. The comparison would be like us putting hundreds or thousands of dollars into that basket. I really don’t know where I am going with this today but as I said, that story has always registered with me. I’m kidding and hopefully accomplished a smile or two. 

Life was never meant to be easy all of the time. Things don’t always go for the good. These are the times when your faith will be tested. When the weight seems more then you can handle, think back to the faith of that poor old woman. She gave the last cent of her life but kept the one thing of value that was worth more in the end; her faith in God that another penny will show up today and her world was complete again till tomorrow. Reaching for help from others or God doesn’t make you weak, it makes you better and stronger. Some days we all need someone to pick us back up and give us a push! Peace, love and faith to you all!!
