We may dislike the test, it's outside our comfort level, sometimes downright heartbreaking...but God can use those pressures to mold us into the vessels that just pour out His grace and love to the ones around us. Deborah, I'll pass that along to her and her agent will be calling... :) Holly, you made the point so well: “We grow through conflict”…so in knowing this, it makes the verse: “Rejoice in everything” take on a whole new meaning.

I think we don't like things to be "tense" in our relationships, ever, so sometimes we shy away from the very important lessons to be learned. By that I mean - we grow through the "conflict." Children learn to persevere, learn that Mom loves them (and they love Mom) even when they aren't happy with one another) learn how to resolve conflict. I'm still learning this. Thanks so much, Mary!

One of the things I appreciate so much about my dh, and I told dd this, is that he and I love each other no matter what. Some faults have to be overlooked. Praying about it is better than preaching about it. Nothing is worth stewing over, and that love definitely covers a multitude of sins!
