Being Grateful
Greetings sisters!
I pray you are continuing to strive on in obedience after our Savior as He has offered us the best gift ever!
We all face various circumstances in our life and they change on a continuous basis. Some endure many hardships while some may not and then time goes on and the roles switch and everyone gets a chance to experience the good and the hardships. It rains on the just and the unjust as we see in Matthew 5:45 and let us not forget Job and many other references especially in the old testament.
We must remember to be grateful in all situations and this goes along with the role of being a godly woman. We are to have a meek and quiet spirit, living a chaste and pure life, thankful for what the Lord has done and content in our situation. The bible talks much about those attributes and it fits right alongside the traits of a woman who fears the Lord.
If you find yourself struggling in this area, just as in all things, go to the Lord and He will help you through it, changing your heart and renewing your spirit with strength and love.

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
