I've always believed that our Heavenly Father knows where are weaknesses and strengths are and He tries us to where he sees we need improvement, but also keeping in mind of where our strengths are. I believe there are 3 types of trials: physical, mental, and spiritual. For me, I've always been strong spiritually, but physically my body is a mess and mentally - I have clinical depression. So, Heavenly Father knows that I can rely on my spiritual strength when trials come that are mental or physical.
With all the trials going on in my family's life, I am so thankful that we are spiritually strong. That peace and comfort helps when nothing else can.
Now, I believe that our strengths and weaknesses can change throughout life. And you grow and at sometimes may be strong in all 3 areas, while other times you feel that you are failing in all 3.
What do you think are your strength and weaknesses are?

spiritiual strenght will get your through so much especially physically. The mental I am not so sure on myself. Hugs to you and your family. They have been in my prayers.
Why do I feel like I am getting a big fat "F" in all these categories right now! I definitely need improvement! Thanks for the Thoughts for Thursday...they are GREAT!
I think my strengths would be the ability to work the shades of grey. I don't have to be black or white on a number of things. I like to think I am patient and understanding, but there are times when my weaknesses, temper, yelling, and stubbornness take over me.
Mentally, I am very strong and very sound. My weakness would be that I am not the most patient person.
((Hugs)) to you and your family. You guys have been through a lot!
My strengths...my mind, my talents. My weaknesses...my emotions, my will power.
I used to be weak spiritually, but God is working with me on that one!
