Disappointment

Last night at small groups our discussion was on disappointment.  The disappointments we have in our lives, with people, with God, and the disappointment of how our life has turned out.  Romans 5 was the scripture that was used " We know trouble  and trials produce endurance,  and endurance produces character and character produces hope and this hope does not disappoint us." Many in class shared their disappointments of life, but we all agreed that through these disappointment we learn and grow.  I had about 4 new ladies and they really opened up about the struggles they had as young wives and bad choices they made and it was good for the younger ladies in the class to hear this.  Sometimes we put people in the church in certain classes that we forget how the old can mentor the young and hopefully learn from our mistakes.
