We also exult in our tribulations; knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint; because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.  Romans 5: 3-5

Trust in the Lord forever, for in the Lord God you have an everlasting rock. ~Isaiah 26:4

As I was heading into late middle age, my father reached a state in which he was never quite sure whether I was his sister or his daughter; I wish I had been wise enough then to realize how little importance that had.

~ Mary C. Morrison from Without Nightfall Upon the Spirit
