“God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.”

Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength.

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief…and unspeakable love.

My wish : Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss the lips, sunsets to warm the heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for the eyes to see, friendships to brighten our being, faith so that one can believe, confidence for the doubt, courage to know oneself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete life.
