>optical communications been a difficult time for the Weathers family the past 6 months. My husband lost his job and we are now struggling to keep our home. Our story is one that is being told across the United States. Families across the nation are struggling to keep their homes and the comforts that they have grown accustom to.  So what do we do?

We have two choices, we can let these difficult times teach us perseverance and character or we can let it break us. Our family has decided to let these time shape us in a positive way.  We want to be shaped into people of character by realizing what is important in life.

These times can teach us what is important to us. Our material things can define who we are but the lack of them can shape who we are. When all is said and done and we are left with our lives to look back on, how do we want to be remembered? Do we want to be remembered for all the “stuff” we had or do we want to be remembered for the love we had for others? I choose the latter.

A reminder to myself:

Love your life because God gave it to you. Love your family because God placed you together. Love your curcumstance, whether good or bad, because God knows what’s best for you. Trials can shape you into who He wants you to be.  Don’t fight it, embrace it.

    I just happened to come across your blog. It is indeed during these times that we discover how much stuff we are made, and realize what and who we value the most. With the strong faith you have in God, I am sure you and your family will transcend these trying times. My Well Of wealth
