This has honestly been the hardest year of our family’s life. Our poor son has faced much struggle over this last school year, almost daily. I have been thinking for the last few months how his life at a young age is very in line with the story of Job. I don’t know how long Job’s struggles lasted. For my son, things have been in constant upheaval since last fall. And to top it off, he broke his collar bone at camp this past Monday. So now his summer is really going to be different than what he had hoped. Life is hard. And I believe it’s good for kids to learn about the struggles and how to deal with them. It just seems that every day an added lesson has been dumped into my son’s lap. He needs some time to be able to digest the lesson before having the next one thrown on him! Hopefully, soon, he will be able to reap the life of blessing that marks the end of the story of Job.
