It's so true. It's easy for us - at least me in particular - to get caught up thinking we're the only ones having problems. I love how you said that we're not the only ones affected, and in fact we might just be side issues. Definitely puts it in better perspective.

In fact, I just might be a side issue. If my kids, g-kids, friends, husband, or others are suffering, I'm affected. If "life happens" and I end up scared, panicky, un-trusting, depressed, it's often that I discover that the ripples surrounding whatever has happened have affected other. The old phrase "No man is an island" is something we all need to remember during those hard stretches. And I don't always head towards that truth soon enough.

I think God does something remarkable with them just to show off how good He is. They're thankful for everything - the way the rest of us should be.
