Hidden suffering
“Have I yet to learn that the hardest and best-borne trials are those which are never chronicled in any earthly record, and are suffered every day.” Charles Dickens
The world may not notice or care, but Jesus sees all of the hidden sacrifices that you bear each day out of love for him…you console his heart and yes, your reward will be great in heaven with the added gift of his peace on earth.

Face to face
“I admire machinery as much is any man, and am as thankful to it as any man can be for what it does for us. But it will never be a substitute for the face of a man, with his soul in it, encouraging another man to be brave and true.” Charles Dickens
God bless,

Trusting in God’s plan
Good sense of humor
“It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good-humour.” Charles Dickens
But the joke needs to be funny for everyone…
God bless,

Promoting positivity
No “perfect” families
“Accidents will occur in the best-regulated families.” Charles Dickens
There is no “perfect” family…but as long as there is faith, a strong marriage and sacrificial love, kids tend to turn out just fine.
God bless,
