What is there to do but stir my pains into all the other ingredients in this stew we call life.

We have all known physical and emotional pain. We should expect more of both. There is a unique kind of peace when we learn to accept, even embrace our various pains as a part of life in this place. I dare say that there is an opportunity for joy to be found in them as well. Make peace with your pains.  It is often true, “No pain, no gain,” even if we do not understand all the ins and outs of them.

“For the joy set before him, Christ endured the cross.” Heb.12.2. "Conversations Within” ts 8/1/2019
