Mostly hard times

Reflecting over the last few months, I have come to realize my little family has experienced mostly hard times. We have been put through an emotional ringer, some of it may have been avoided, but for the most part, when those around us are suffering we tend to be sympathetic and try to help. Someone commented to me today that I had to be "The strong one...again" they said so with an air of regret. But to be honest. It's not me. My strength comes from God alone. When I am going through hard times I ask for the Lord to help me thru. and he does. So I don't mind (mostly) being strong, because I am not doing it alone.
