Suffering

We have been posting a lot of quotes lately. We are both still in the “thick” of trials. There is so much we want to say and are working on putting it into words. But for now we find comfort and truth in others words…....Here is a quote I came across today…....It reminds me I am still growing and healing, even in trial. Keep walking my friends. -Katie
“Long periods of well-being and comfort are in general dangerous to all.
After such prolonged periods, weak souls become incapable of weathering any
kind of trial. They are afraid of it. Yet it is a fact that difficult trials and
sufferings can facilitate the growth of the soul. I know there is a
widespread feeling that if we highly value suffering this is masochism. On the
contrary, it is a significant bravery when we respect suffering and understand what
burdens it places on our soul.” – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
