Hardest Thing You've Been Through This Year - "Sharing Your Cup #4"

I sat in front of my computer on a rainy Sunday afternoon (yes, it is raining in Vancouver) and could not decide what to write for this blog entry.  Then it dawned on me that lately I have had the blessing to get to know some new friends after we were asked to share "the hardest thing you've been through in the last year or so."

It might seem like an odd thing to share with strangers, but that night as the 6 of us shared our toughest obstacles, we all realized that we were not alone.  It might be that all of our struggles were different, but really we were in the same boat.  This world is not an easy place and we were ALL struggling in it together.

Today, I ask you to share something.  If you are up for this challenge to open up and share the hardest thing you've been through in the last year or so, you may just find a sense of peace like I did.   Leave your story in the comment section and just like the other Sharing Your Cup posts, at the end of the month I will do a random draw from the comments and send out a little gift to brighten up your month!  As well, a few other blog friends and I will be praying for you :)

Here is this month's cheer-you-up gift.  It is an 8x8 Canvass Frame and a reminder that you are never alone in your struggles when you have GOD & FRIENDS :

I will draw the winner on August 28th.

Thank you for sharing your cup!
