Have you had an experience where, at first, you felt like what was happening to you was bad or confusing, but you later realized that God was using the experience for good? Maybe you turned down or didn’t get a job that offered a lot of prestige, but you discovered that a different job allowed you stay connected to family, friends and a community of faith, and now you realize how much more important that is. Or maybe you never felt like you were part of a popular clique of children in middle school, but you never missed it because your friends were genuine and helped you to grow as a person. Share these examples with your child and let him or her know how God can do the most with us when we are in humble situations.
