We can turn lump of coal experiences into diamonds by the way we think
about them.
1. Can you think of people who have been refined by their challenges, who overcame them and accomplished amazing things? What inspires you about their stories?
2. Are you willing to share an example from your own life story that commemorates a blessing you have received as you have dealt with a challenge?
