“The fruit of our labors is sweet when the work is consecrated to God. But we have to be able to weather the conditions - the winds, the rain or the drought, the brilliant sun and sometimes the bitter cold. Sometimes our work needs to be directed at improving our ground rather than excusing our own harvests because the place we have been given is a little hard; there are too many rocks, too many hills, too little top soil. If we focus on where we are instead of what we can do with our plot, we will find our efforts significantly diminished.” IfsNeedsLittlesHas BeensSometimesHardAbleGivenCan DoWorkEffortSunFocusConditionsRocksSweetWindColdRainLaborFruitBrilliantWeatherBitterHillsSoilPlotBitternessImprovingHarvestDroughtBitter Cold Author:Elaine L.

“Testimony is a result of choice, not circumstance. In all seasons of my life, testimony has been a conscious choice - and this choice has given everything else in my life meaning. Building a testimony is the beginning of building a happy life. Testimony grows step by step as we invest the effort to exercise faith and hope as active parts of everyday living. Prayer is a major tool to help us gain faith and hope.” LifeHas BeensHelpingChoicesGivenGrowsPrayerResultsEffortStepsBuildingCircumstancesExerciseMajorsConsciousGainsToolsSeasonsEverydayActiveMeaning Of LifeHappy LifeTestimonyHope And FaithLife MeansEveryday Living Author:Elaine L.
