Thought for the Day 5/26/2017

IF we had no winter,
  the spring would not be so pleasant:
if we did not sometimes taste of adversity,
  prosperity would not be so welcome.

-Anne Bradstreet

BUT when he came to himself, he said,

 "How many of my father's hired servants have more than
    enough bread, BUT I perish here with hunger! 
  I will arise and go to my father and I will say to him,
   'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.' "

BUT the father said to his servants,
 'For this my son was dead, and is alive again;
   he was lost and is found.' 

 And they began to celebrate. 

-Luke 15:17, 18, 24
