God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, nor sun without rain.But he did promise strenght for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way. May you fine comfort in these words. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the Righteous Judge shall give me at that day, and not to me only, but to all them that love his appering. Second Timothy 4:7-8
