Romans 5:3-5
... we
also boast
in our sufferings,
knowing that suf-
fering produces
endurance, & en-
durance produces
character, & char-
acter produces hope,
& hope does not dis-
appoint us, because
God's love
has been
poured into
our hearts
through the Holy Spirit
that has been given to us.
Yesterday was the day of the accident in 1989
when Gordon became quadriplegic and our life
ended and another began. Right after Gordon
died 19 years later, and six weeks before Mom
died, she sent me a quote by Peter Gomes
who was an author and a chaplain at Harvard:
Hope is that which
gets us through & beyond
when the worst that can happen, happens.
