“I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.” D.H. Lawrence

 I have seen a three-legged dog running playfully down the street. I even saw a video of a blind Labrador retriever splashing for joy in a puddle of water. I am inspired anytime I witness a happy acceptance of life even when it is accompanied with hardship. Joy grows in the heart that accepts not only suffering, but also hopes in the promised realities of the resurrection of Jesus.

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” Rom.8.18 “Conversations Within” ts 11/1/25
