"Joyful, Patient, and Faithful"

Here's today's Random Spiritual Thought...

A young man laments his difficult fate:

''I wish none of this had happened.''

A wise old man answers, ''So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for us to decide. All that is ours to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.''

Brings to mind Romans 12, especially verses 12 and 21: "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer...Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

More on this tomorrow...but you've been prayed for today.
