“Our vision is so limited we can hardly imagine a love that does not show itself in protection from suffering. The love of God is of a different nature altogether. It does not hate tragedy. It never denies reality. It stands in the very teeth of suffering.
The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.”
Emily keeping it real. No living without suffering. It's a package deal. How we react makes all the difference. Or as my dear old dad would repeat often: "these things are sent to try us".
Beautifully said, my friend. Hugs to you all as you remember your sweet kitty.
I like this quote from Elizabeth Elliott:
