God doesn't waste opportunities for growth

Becky Brown is a friend of mine.  She is a daughter of Gerry Schemers, one of our beloved Life in Christ church members who has gone to be with the Lord.

Becky has a grandson, Roman, who was born with a number of serious health problems.  He has lived longer than what his doctors predicted.  God's compassionate hand is blessing Roman and his family.  Every day is precious; with Roman they are enjoying "God's grace time."

Recently, Becky wrote of some health issues she's dealing with.  She had been a primary caregiver for Roman but right now it is hard to devote the attention she wishes to give to her grandson because of pain she is dealing with.

In a recently email, Becky recounted all the physical issues she's dealing with.  Then she signed off with the following words (which I added to my journal):

The Lord doesn't waste opportunities for growth (and I'm praying I won't either).  There are always purposes behind what we go through.
