But pain... seems to me an insufficient reason not to embrace life. Being dead is quite painless. Pain, like time, is going to come on regardless. Question is, what glorious moments can you win from life in addition to the pain? … Lois McMaster Bujold

*A little pain comes into Everyone’s life* *Little cares and troubles, worries and strife* *So when it rains we need only to weather the storm* *And live for the days when it is sunny and warm* *I find it wise to grin and bear it when troubles arise* *They are temporary setbacks, or so I surmise* *If I did not endure those bad times you see* *I would not appreciate it when good comes to me* *So I live all of life as an amazing journey through time* *And submerge myself in the good times for they are sublime*

I think pain and trials are God's way of maturing us. We ought always to look for the "good" even when things seem awful. Yours is a tender, meaningful message, Lew, full of wisdom as always.

God Bless,
Lena

So when it rains we need only to weather the storm,
And live for the days when it is sunny and warm

Words to live by, indeed.

"Sometimes you have to make your own sunshine," was a favorite saying of an old friend of mine. It's pouring in Pa today. I had the unusual adventure of going for my car in the parking lot while holding a plastic grocery bag on my head. It was kind of fun!
Good writing, Lew.

I agree, but there are some pain so "painful," either mentally or physically, that enduring it as you bid your time for the good days, can seem like most of eternity. Still, what choice do we have?

This to shall pass! Pain with hard work can be curtailed. Good write, Lew.
