He Uses Suffering

God always seems bigger to those who need him most. And suffering is the tool he uses to help us need him more.”

`~Joni Eareckson Tada ~

Lord, I used to think it was strange that Paul said we should be grateful for suffering. Now I understand that it is through suffering that I draw closer to you, and I better understand how much I need you. Thank you for all the ways you care for me and teach me, even in suffering.

After raising a family and then teaching for over 20 years, I retired from full-time work. Now I spend time with family, tap dance, take long walks in nature, read, and write. I have published two stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and over a dozen devotions. My current goal is to publish a book of meditations over the gospels and to share my devotional writing on my blog. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.
