Thought for the Day 6/18/2014

Life is full of challenges and struggles,    

   sometimes seeming hard and meaningless.  

        But without strife and struggle in our lives  

          we'd never develop our true strengths.

.-Jim Gentil  (after going through cancer treatment) 

More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings,
   knowing that suffering produces endurance,
       and endurance produces character, and
             character produces hope.
-Romans 5:3-4 (RSV)
