Today’s Quote on Trials

HOPE
A RENEWED HOPE
“How are you today?” she asks. “You look beautiful.”
“Thanks. I’m good.” I reply.
“Do you think you’d be up to lunch on Wednesday?”
“Oh, I’d love to, but I have a procedure that day. I’m sorry.”
Didn’t we already pray for your healing?” She frowns as she speaks.
I nod.
