We often ask God for spiritual assets without recognizing the work we need to do to get them. To grow strong, we must learn to carry burdens; to gain patience, we must learn to handle stress; to follow God's will, we must become willing to let go. To be courageous, we must practice faith in the face of fear; to be right, we must learn to admit wrongs; to be loved, we must learn to be loving.
God gives us opportunities to grow. The footwork is up to us.
Am I doing my part?

Both of your posts have such meat and maturity in them. I will have to copy and paste them somewhere to remind me all the time. What is said here in so few words speaks volumes upon volumes of spiritual wisdom. Thanks.
Yeah, I hear you Pappy. I try to put my best foot forward and then wait for the results. It's what I call 'getting a leg up' on our disease. Remember: "Happiness keeps You Sweet, Trials keep You Strong, Sorrows keep You Human, Failures keep You Humble, Success keeps You Glowing, but Only God keeps You Going!" So do just that, okay...keep moving forward. Thanks again for the reminder...
