For those who feel discouraged about all you have been through and what is going on in the world I have this to say;

Philippians 4:12-14 "…12 I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation—to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need. 13 I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. 14 Nevertheless, you have done well to share in my affliction.…"
