Thankfully my threshold for pain is very high...I even gave birth twice with no medical intervention other than the doc catching the girls! :) What you say here about God and the pain He brings us is awesome.I particularly liked the part about how joy comes from God who cares for us no matter what!!! AMEN!!!! I hope and pray your physical pain eases up and I am happy to "meet" you! I will be back! So funny how our blog titles are so similar!! and what a blessing that you saw a robin in your yard...my yard is covered with about 3 inches of slushy snow. UGH!!!! but the blessing is that i have friday off from the classroom! :)Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06608258814596465122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531909281927126909.post-89346168742788918382013-03-20T08:46:53.394-07:002013-03-20T08:46:53.394-07:00Hi Ann,

But then you reminded me:<br />"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life." (John 9:3)<br />Christ says that pain is a privilege, a trust. Not one anyone wants to sign up for, though.<br />I can't help but think about a claim I've often heard about pain--that you don't fight it once it's moved in and won't leave, but that you bring it in and work with and through it. If it is part of our life, it is part of our life. <br />Do everything we can to alleviate it, then recognize the sovereign work of God. He is good, and there is something there for our benefit.<br />God bless you, girl, for trying to find and understand what that is. It's not an easy road, but you take one step at a time in faith. God bless you.JoAnne Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12736685999963791015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-531909281927126909.post-17515197790370004322013-03-19T23:29:03.285-07:002013-03-19T23:29:03.285-07:00Hi Ann, this is such a timely post for me, I espec...Hi Ann, this is such a timely post for me, I especially love this bit: "Finally, determine and write down how you will respond to the painful experience." such a practical application of seeking out what the word says I should do.
