What a beautiful day here on the river, it is cold but the sun is shining. God reminded me today, that we need clouds in our lives, in order to see His faithfulness. Sometimes when we are going through a trial, we only see the clouds, but through it God is there, and He will bring sunshine after the clouds are pass. Just keep on believing, and remember He is the Faithful one, so unchanging. Read this also; Ruth Graham tells a humorous story about her daughters. Ann and Bunny. When Ruth ran to the kitchen to investigate some loud cries, she found three year old Bunny holding her hand to her cheek, looking very disapprovingly at her sister. Mommy, explained five year old Anne, Im teaching Bunny the Bible. Im slappying her on one cheek and teaching her to turn the other one so I can slap it, too.

Stanley Jones was being publicly slandered by someone he had once helped. Jones first response was to write his accuser a letter he relates was the kind of reply you are proud of the first five minutes, the second five minutes youre not so certain, and the third five minutes you know youre wrong. Jones knew his comments would win the argument, but lose the person. The Christian, he said, is not in the business of winning arguments, but of winning people, and he tore up the letter. A few weeks later-without having said, a word-Jones received a letter of apology from the one who had turned on him. Words from the wise, we need to take and apply this to our lives.
