Life is God's good gift to me. I must cooperate with it to live it, which means constant readjustment and the throwing out of phoney fancies as to how I might manage it by the thankful sharing of all honest thinking with my fellows.
Living means growing which is not without pain but which, I believe, is what we are together for now. . .
Living needs practicing, which is what God is giving me the grace to do.

Thought to Ponder....
What I am is God's gift to me. What I make of myself is my gift to Him.
