Endurance is not fun but it builds character. It’s important to find fun in the process. Think of ingenious ways to enjoy the process.
For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise. (Hebrews 10:36)
endurance: (1) The ability to do something difficult for a long time. (2) The ability to deal with pain or suffering that continues for a long time. (3) The quality of continuing for a long time. (definition from merriam-webster.com)

Endurance…the stuff of winners in sports, relationships, life…and salvation! Good point, my dear…

Thanks! Victory is always worth the fight. 🙂
Yes it is. And even in defeat, the fight may also have been worth the effort! For every challenge, despite the result, can be a life lesson…
Enjoy your day,
TTL
That’s true. It’s hard to see the good that comes from defeat. It’s easy to overlook the lesson when you loose.
I hope you have a wonderful day as well!
[Big wink] !
We all have lessons which are obvious, and some which are mysterious for a time. But this experience we call life has been planned for us by the Lord.
He knows the ups and downs we will face…He knows the number of our days on this earth. He also knows what we will face and how often we could have learned things if we had just considered all that happens to us…
Talk to you later and enjoy your day,
TTL
Yup. Oh, how I wish God would tell me some of the struggles I’ll face before they happen!
I’m not sure…I may not want to know about some of the things which are to happen to me in advance. Afterward, however, I’d like to know the reasons why.
And I may just get that wish! We are all the same, only different!! (It makes sense if you think about it long enough…)
TTL
I like that…We are all the same only different. Very true!
Hey…I got a “million of ’em!” We are all the same in many ways. But instead of focusing on that, we tend to let the negative rule. We fight and argue all the time!
We need to just stop it…
