\"Benefits<\/a>As a thirty-year-old dad of four little kids, I consider my trials insignificant when compared to the hardships of others I know. Some people deal with\u00a0demanding leadership roles, persistent health issues, and life-threatening diseases on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

My trials are small things like getting up to help a sick child in the middle of the night, picking up toys and books off the floor, or those times when I just want to vaporize the piles of dirty dishes so I can go to bed. However, parenting is full of difficulties like these, and we all need encouragement to persevere, no matter what kind of hardships we are facing.<\/p>\n

The good news is, God’s Word is full of encouragement for us<\/strong>. Today I wrote a post over at the Boy Dads blog<\/strong> (don’t worry, this post is just as applicable to moms!) on Nine Benefits of Trials<\/a><\/strong> which summarizes what the Bible says on this subject. I hope you find it encouraging!<\/p>\n
