Connect the DotsSample

Written by Caroline, age 12 from Suwanee, Georgia, USA 

As we get older, we can experience some tough situations. A tough time in my own life has been my grandma battling cancer. On a recent scan, the doctors didn’t know what the problem was. She had new spots on her liver that they thought were caused by infection. After many months of treatment, the spots didn’t budge, and later we were told that those spots were actually cancer. To me, that was a time of uncertainty. The only thing that stayed the same was God, and God’s constant love for me. What I learned through this is that no matter what happens, knowing how much God loves us and is for us can help us through those tough times. God’s love can give us strength to go through anything. 

Today, pick up a random rock outside, and put it in your pocket. 

Every time you think about that tough thing you are going through, take a moment to pray and thank God for being your rock and walking through this situation with you.  

If you know someone else going through a tough time, pick up a rock and give it to them. Share what you are doing, so they also can be reminded that God is with them.
