Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. — James 1:12
When we stand the test, God takes note.
That person will receive the crown of life.
Just as God has promised to those who love Him.
This is home up the street that's being built entirely of shipping containers.
I had heard about this recently, but this is the first time we saw it in person!
Very interesting!

Fortunately, Kirk had visited him, his wife, and daughters on his trip to Akron a year and a half ago.
Still, it's hard to lose a relative.
But God calls us blessed to have persevered.
And now he has received the crown of life that God promises to those who love him.
Praise the Lord.
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends! — Philippians 4:1
A couple of people had not seen my curly hair.
One didn't recognize me.
She wondered who that lady was sitting way too close to Kirk.
She expected one of our ushers to come let me know we needed to space out.
Then she realized it was me!
Another friend came up to me afterward and asked how I like the curls I have now.
Of course, I had to laugh.
Any hair is better than no hair! I replied.
But actually, the curls are nice, too.
In the 80s I briefly got a perm to add to curl to my hair.
Now it's natural.
I think God has a sense of humor.
