Happy Sunday! It’s a beautiful day here in Kentucky, and I feel like we are now in full summer mode. We went to a friend’s house last night and sat outside, soaking up the gorgeous evening weather. Summer makes me happy!
This past week, I was talking with someone who had been through a difficult season in their life. They’re struggling to find any good in their circumstances. They believe in God, they know He’s there, but they don’t see Him working in their life.
I think we can all relate at some point. How can God bring good out of a bad situation? How do we keep going when life is hard? My Mom taught me when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer, to look for blessings, because they are all around us, even in our darkest moments.
This video of a young couple shows how looking for God’s blessings can change your perspective. It was such an encouragement; I wanted to share it with you. One of the things said in the video stuck with me, “Lifes lowest moments can be our greatest blessings.”
“no matter how broken you are, no matter how lost, keep going…”
You can read their entire story in the book, The Seven Longest Yards.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to stop by my blog. I’m also on Facebook, Pinterest, and, Instagram.
Have a blessed day!

Thank you ❤️
Thanks! very inspirational – when my husband passed away at the age of 51 I kept telling myself God has a reason for taking him I don’t know why but God does. My faith and staying strong for my two daughters was how I got through some of the hardest days of my life.
Thank you so much for sharing this Cyndi. Your blog always brings me back to where I need to be. Focusing on God and not my supposed problems.
inspired! thank-you for sharing this video.
This video is wonderful. God is so good!
Thank you for that video! I have a friend that needs to hear this and I’m sure others also. You are truly a blessing!
Thank you for sharing this video. It’s a good reminder to me that even though my family is going through some trauma right now we are going to eventually be okay. I always say that if we all put our problems in a bucket and have to pull out someone else’s problem, we would want our own problem back. Blessings to you.
Thankyou for this beautiful story. It touched my heart. GOD IS SO GOOD!
Good message in this video! I live in Iowa and grew up in the town where this incredible man was injured. This story has been on pur local news recently. It was good to see this as I’ve been down about little things lately. And I havent been committed to worship like I need to be. This was a great reminder to refocus with God in the center of my life and not stress about the little things!
Thank you Cyndi for sharing that video. My trial doesn’t seem quite so big now. I am so blessed by what God has done in this young couples life and the way He’s using them to bless others….especially those cute little kids.
Such an inspiring story. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story and I and going to share it with my 22 yr old daughter and her boyfriend as well.
Happy Sunday Cindi, thank you for that very uplifting video. My husband and I can attest to God’s goodness in the midst of pain. We have been given an opportunity to share our faith in a completely elevated platform because of my husband’s battle with ALS. We have received blessings to numerous to count and have had the joy of being completely lifted in prayer by our church and community. All things we wouldn’t have experienced without walking through the shadow of death. God doesn’t waste any hurt or heartache or tears. He uses everything for the glory of His Kingdom. Sending Hugs.
Diane thank you for sharing your testimony. Praying God continues to use you and your husband.
Wow! Isn’t Good Awesome!
Wow..what a powerful message. The strength, love, faith and encouragement shown by this young couple that God is using. So inspiring how they took what was a low moment in their lives and made it into something beyond beautiful:)I’ll be looking for this book in July. Thanks for sharing.
What a touching story! God is good all the time! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this couples amazing story of love and faith
What a great testimony for this beautiful Sunday! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you. What a blessing. I need this today.
Interesting that our current series and message last night was on difficulty and how we tend to focus internally, when often if we focus externally, help others, and focus on God our circumstances, while those may not change, how we deal does.
Thank you as always for your thoughts, one of the main reasons I follow you.
Your post today is quite fitting!! During church, we focused on Peter – Chapter 1, and I feel that after reading today’s post – there is a connection! Have a great day :)!
Such a powerful message. I will share that with someone I know is going through a very difficult time right now
Cyndi you are an inspiration in so many ways? Spiritually, encouragement,
Fashion, etc. You inspire me in so many ways. Thank you for being you.
Terry, thank you, praying I always point women to Jesus.
Awesome 👏🙏 Cyndi, thank you for sharing this!
So wonderful and fulfilling to read this post, Cyndi. What an inspiring, encouraging message. We have all been vulnerable to sin, to mountains of sorrow, to life’s trials. But I know a God who is a miracle worker and a parent when Life becomes big. I lean on Him and call His name. He hears me each time. Praise be to God for his strength, joy, and restoration. What a blessing you are, Cyndi. Thank you for helping me to remember.
Cyndi. Thank you for sharing this video. Started thinking back in my life and YES, life’s lowest moments were in fact blessings. God bless🥰
