The Best Gift this Christmas

I've had many trying days, but last Monday was really the most difficult of all. My son Javie was confined at the hospital due to pneumonia. At the same time I had a stalker who continually did nothing but send text messages specifically to ruin our marriage. Sometimes I feel helpless and hopeless. That's why I nearly broke down when I read the daily devotional from Proverbs 31.org, titled The Hardest Days — God Uses Them for Good. I know God is trying to tell me something amidst this trial. More than material things, God wants to tell me that the greatest gift I will receive this Christmas is a strong family, a stronger marriage, and a stronger faith in God. I will be able to rejoice in this trial because I trust in Him completely. He will provide for the hospital. He will repair our marriage, and give renewed strength and hope for 2013. I claim that "Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life - Psalm 23:6

I hold fast to you Lord, as per your promise.
Romans 8:28, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."
