Good Morning!

Blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved, he will receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. -James 1:12

It is important to constantly condition ourselves spiritually so when the trials come along we have the strength (right mindset) and the open communication with God to turn to in order to get through it.

“I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go.” -Abraham Lincoln

“We gain the strength of the temptation we resist.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Dad Joke of the Day:

Somebody asked me what to do with leftover bacon. I have never heard of that kind of bacon. Is it new?

Have a great Monday and an awesome week!
