“Be not troubled; for it troubles abound, and there be tossing, and storms, and tempests, and no peace, nor anything visible left to support; yet, lie still, and sink beneath, till a secret hope stir, which will stay the heart in the midst of all these; until the Lord administer comfort, who knows how and what relief to give to the weary traveler, that knows not where it is, nor which way to look, nor where to expect a path.”
~ I. Penington ~
“The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day.” ~ David Foster Wallace ~
“In times of grief and sorrow I will hold you and rock you and take your grief and make it my own. When you cry I cry and when you hurt I hurt. And together we will try to hold back the floods to tears and despair and make it through the potholed street of life.”
~ Corrie ten Boom ~
“There are days when my heart is troubled, and just being in the Lord’s presence and thinking about his love for me fills me with an inexplicable peace and joy.”

That hill to the right of Mr Pumpkin looks just like Slemish, where Patrick tended sheep hungry and cold through too many winters, before God told him it was time to be getting back home x
This is the kind of thing we should be hearing more often. I've met too many folks who think that if life isn't a bed of roses, then God has abandoned them or they've done something wrong. This life as we know it is simply the training ground for a greater purpose and a greater glory on the other side.
Goodness, we're thinking alike. I spent awhile reminding myself of the very things you've posted quotes on, and posted a few myself. These times do call for our prayers, and for god to give us hearts and courage to stand firm in Him ! Blessings Sandra.
