The Family Under Stress

Each family, couple, and single person will go through some form of stress in life. Trials are promised to every one of Heavenly Fathers' children. He is all knowing and the trials we experience will shape us into the people our Father in Heaven wants us to be. Although stress and tribulation can test the family greatly. At times it is hard to stay optimistic in the heart of a trial. Bitterness is often my main emotion in the middle of a hard trial. My family lost my amazing grandfather in February 2011 after losing a diligent fight against leukemia. Never have a felt such anguish over the loss of someone. It was not easy but because of it our family grew closer and learned to appreciate each member of our family more and more every day. I had to learn that God is all knowing and that he knows what he is doing. Our Father in Heaven cuts us down in order for us to grow. He is the gardener of the world.
