Growing pains!

"Dad I'm growing right now!" That was what my youngest boy Ryan exclaimed  from the backseat as we were driving home from a road trip!  I said: "you are?" "How can you be sure?" He said: " because my legs are cramping really bad!"  Wow! Now if only I could be so excited the next time I am facing some trial or difficulty that is stretching me...by joyfully saying:" father I'm growing!" The Bible reminds us in James 1 : 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
