Great Truths That Adults Have Learned:

1. Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.

2. Wrinkles don’t hurt.

3. Families are like fudge … mostly sweet, with
a few nuts.

4. Today’s mighty oak is just yesterday’s nut that
held its ground.

5. Laughing is good exercise. It’s like jogging on
the inside.

6. Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the
fiber, not the toy.

The Up Side of Suffering

If you find yourself in a time of suffering, now is the time to press into God. Let your roots grow deeper. Whenever there is a famine, tree roots are forced to drive deeper into the soil to find water. These times are designed to create such a deep-rooted faith that our natures will be changed forever.

A little encouragement goes a long way!

God Bless!
