Bitterness has no place in my vocabulary, and sadness, just a shadow to be blown away,.....graciousness, the virtue, my Lord desires of me; courage to look  beyond the tempest and the storm,  calm with steadfast confidence,  in the Providence of the Lord, my God .... for it is His smile that swirl the wheel of life's fortune and makes my every path ring with joy and fruitfulness....Talk to me Abba....my conscious call out to Thee!
