Like Tim, the loss of my youngest child - eight years ago now.
Although I miss him so much, and always will, I prayed at the time that good would come out of devastating circumstances.
Four children benefited from my sons organs.
Friends of ours came to faith in Jesus Christ, as they witnessed our faith in God through our loss.
My husband and I have been able to help many other bereaved families and given them hope.
I look forward with great anticipation to seeing my son in Heaven.
What a blessed hope!

I went to prison on drug relate charges. I did three years. I took every program on self improvement they offered, I was one of about 12 inmates who together with a staff member developed a class based on character and ethics. It's the first of it's kind in a woman's facility and there is only one in a men's and I'm not sure if it is similar. I quit smoking cigarettes, doing drugs and even using foul language. The greatest blessing however was the relationship that I built with our Creator and the knowledge I gained. It was the most beneficial three years of my life and I have lived over half a century! I am now able to help many others come to accurate Bible knowledge, and my life is wonderful. It was a very difficult and humiliating way to come to the spiritual paradise that I have now, but having the time to completely turn my life around with God's help made it all worth while. I wouldn't suggest that anyone else try it that way, but for me, that's what it took to get a grip on the reality of what I was doing and where I was heading.

My youngest daughter had a serious problem with drugs. When she was 17 almost 18 I put her in a long-term treatment center. She was so angry at me she wouldn't speak to me for over a month. I was afraid she would stay until she turned 18 and then leave and hate me. Finally, though she did come around, got clean and turned her life around. Today she is 32 and we have a great relationship.

To admit to myself that I know that Islam is true, and to stand up and face the cold winds from society around me as I hold onto my faith. To realize that losing it would break me far more than keeping close to it will ever do.
The blessings I have from this, are many. One is sleeping soundly in her tiny bed, the other is gazing at me as if I am a rare and precious gem. And the "Best Blessing" is seeing me from His Throne, which is above the seven Heavens.

The worst part was finding out my wife was cheating on me. The divorce was tough, but like I said, the worst part was finding out about the cheating.
The blessing was that I met and married a beautiful woman who had two beautiful girls. I do feel truly blessed.

Catching the woman I loved and asked to marry me in bed with my best buddy.
"Blessing" in disguise - I could have married that whore! And, it made me stop and take a good hard look at myself, my life and my way of reacting to outside stimulus. Im a better person for it today. I learned a VERY HARD lesson....but I am thankful that I learned it.

My friend who lived down the road from me getting prostate cancer, which brought me closer to the Lord, strengthened my faith in God and taught me that I must totally let go of all of what I want for myself, and ask God to give me what HE wants for me instead. And througoh this, God has freed my friend of his cancer and has made him cancer free for 3 and 1/2 years now. Praise the Lord!! God has all the control. Acknowledge this and the blessings will pour into your life.

Having my ex beat the crap out of me & then trap me in a room all night threatening to kill me & family & friends. It gave me the courage to finally leave everything behind & get a restraining order. He was later arrested & my life has improved in spite of losing almost all of my possesions. I am poor, but happy.

Loss of employment with a family and bills.
I gave it to the Lord and ended up doubling my salary.
