3- Finding the blessing in the persecution.

Joy Dare - June 14th
A Gift...
Unexpected: Our twins!
Unwanted: Trials and testing of faith when everything seems to go wrong and you can't seem to get a leg up for being knocked back down again.
Unlikely: Compliments from strangers on days when I feel like everything is falling apart, that remind me that it's not so bad, and the battlefield of the mind is a trying one. We're our own worst enemy sometimes.

Joy Dare - June 5th
A Gift of Peace, of Hope, of Love:
Peace: For the first time in a very long time, I am at peace with our situations and circumstances. I no longer give too much heart to what other people think. This paves the way for Joy.
Hope: I have hope for the future. That hope gives me a new song every morning, and makes life worth living.
Love: I'm a hard person to love. My husband loves me anyway. Completely and entirely. His love, like Christ's love, is healing to my soul.
