Gratitude Post #6: Grandpa's Quote

I had to add another post about my grandpa. He's been on my mind a lot lately, especially since I posted that blog entry about my grandparents a couple of days ago.

Brad and I have been going through a lot of stress lately. Not within our marriage or relationship, but with... ummm... outside influences you might say. If you know Brad's story or our family well, you'll probably know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, a few months ago my aunt sent me a quote my grandpa used to say, and I've faithfully put it up on my wall as a reminder when times get hard. Grandpa would always say:

"God makes all things work out for the good guys."
~David Burrows Whitcomb

Simple and short, and yet so TRUE! God will make things work out for us because we are striving to do good things. If we continue to do our part, He will help us through our trials and adversities. I am thankful for my grandfather's quote, because it truly does help me keep things in perspective. Thanks, Grandpa!
