"There are times when life overwhelms us and or trials seem too many to bear- It is then we should stop to remember God is standing by ready to share The uncertain hours that confront us and fill us with fear and despair. For God in his goodness has promised that the cross He gives us to wear Will never exceed our endurance or be more than our strength can bear" A poem by Helen Steiner Rice "Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian afairs--he wants to please his commanding officers."2 Timnothy 2:3-4NIV There are many times I send a message to those of you who have lost a beloved feret, such as to Rebecca, and it bounces back. My sorrow and heartfelt prayers for all of your losses. Lisette [Posted in FML issue 3057]
