How to Find Hope when You Are Struggling

Everyone struggles. No exceptions. Don't be fooled. No matter how "put together" someone looks, everyone has a story that has it's share of pain and broken dreams. Struggles with failure, disappointment, rejection, worry and loneliness weave themselves through the fabric of our lives. And worst of all, those struggles can tempt us to doubt God is good. 

What I Learned from a Squirrel

What I Learned from a Squirrel

I have recently observed an incredibly busy squirrel in my back yard.  He has but one thing on his mind.

He’s burying his treasure in anticipation of harder days ahead. He knows instinctively that the snow is coming.  Trees will no longer bear their fruit.  Better work now, for the day is coming when no squirrel can work. 

I can learn a lot from that squirrel.
