God knows whats best for us, so why should we complain? We always want the sunshine, But He knows there must be rain. We love the sound of laughter, and the merriment of cheer, but our hearts would lose their tenderness if we never shed a tear. Our Father tests us often with sufferingand with sorrow, He tests us not to punish us, but to help us meet tomorrow.... For growing trees are strenthened when they withstand the storm, and the sharp cut of the chisel gives the marble grace and form. God never hurts us needlesley, and He never wastes our pain, for every loss He sends to us, is followed by rich gain. And when we count the blessings that God has so freely sent,we will find no cause for murmuring and no time to lament... for our Father loves His children, and to Him all things are plain,so He never sends us pleasure when the soul's deep need is pain. So whenever we are troubled, and when everything goes wrong, it is God working in us to make our spirit strong. Thinking of you and your family Dennis, with love and prayers. Jackie and family xo
