1 Thessalonians 5:16-18:
16 Rejoice always,
pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for
you in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:4:
Rejoice in the Lord
always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
There
were many great things about our trip, including just being together but
-believe it or not – it was not perfect! The children and everyone else didn’t
always get along perfectly – especially when we are travelling in a car for
hours together and then sleeping three or so people in a twin bed – when our
children aren’t little anymore. And then after having no sleep for a few nights
driving and flying through the whole night, one can be tired and cranky. There
is a little rainfall in everyone’s life. But here is the thing, the Lord is
with us in everything we experience. He will never leave us nor forsake us. A
friend of ours, Major David Ivany, whom we have quoted regularly, regularly
says, ‘in the end it will all be all right; so, if it is not all right it is
not the end’. I think that is a wonderful encouragement to persevere in the
strength of the Lord.
