It was an incredible amount of hard work, and through it all, that piece of land blossomed into a family homestead.

This presentation teaches us about the mystery of suffering and shows how believers have been consoled and challenged by Job. The answer to why suffering cannot be grasped by our finite minds but the contemplation of the grandeur and beauty of the natural world builds a sense of trust in the Creator.

These three parables remind us that God loves us completely, even in our deepest need.
