Everyone is welcomed to share their own personal, encouraging Thought for Today

<font color="blue">

I surmise that great sufferers don't become great skeptics.
The spectator to suffering is who becomes a skeptic.

Can one see the star of hope in the light of day?
No, only in the dark of night is it visible.
Skeptics have not been in that dark night.
The do not see any star, as they watch from a distance too far away.

Helen Keller became blind and deaf in early childhood.
She said that "the world is full of overcoming of troubles."

Joni Eareckson, a young girl paralyzed from the neck down in a diving accident,
has inspired millions with her faith that emerged from that tragedy.

Merril Womack sings at churches. He had crashed his plane in
woods and suffered burns over 90% of his body. Most would shake their
fists in anger at God. But Womack sings, O how I love him, how I adore him.

It is the spectators, not the sufferers, who become skeptics.

Allow those who suffer with you to encourage you;
forgive those who are incapable of understanding.
