A Word for Wednesday

"I may suffer, I must suffer, He means it, He wills it, but let it be without repining, without gloomy despondency. The world is full of sorrow; it is not I alone who taste its bitter draughts, nor have I the only right to a sad countenance. Oh, for patience to bear on, cost what it may!"

~from Stepping Heavenward by Elizabeth Prentiss~

    1. Nope. Fictional journal of a woman living in the 1800s beginning on her 16th birthday.

  5. This is a GREAT quote! To paraphrase, "Turn that frown upside-down - you're not the only one going through it!" I would be such a horrible counselor. Haha
