And the families of your clients trying to move forward amidst the pain of a difficult divorce.<BR/><BR/>This life can be so wonderful and so painful.<BR/><BR/>It seems to me that the painful parts often win out.<BR/><BR/>But as you said in your piece, the Lord will provide all that we need. His suffering and death for our sakes, let us in on the true nature of life and shows us that we also will not escape the troubles of this life. But that we ought not worry, for He has something far greater in store for us. <BR/><BR/> Thanks.<BR/><BR/> - Steve M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
