Thought for the day 4/14/2026

 Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls;

the most massive characters are seared with scars.

~ H. Chapin

In this you greately rejoice, even thought now for a little while,

 if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials,

 so that the proof of your faith, .... tested by fire, 

may be found to result in praise and glory and

 honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

~ 1 Peter 1:6-7
