  2. Hey Crystal, way to look on the bright side of life... tho it may not always be easy. "Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, rejoice."
    "God hath not promised skies always blue, Flower strewn pathways all our lives thro'; God hath not promised sun without rain, joy without sorrow, peace without pain. But God hath promised strength for the day, Rest for the labor, light for the way, Grace for the trials, help from above, unfailing sympathy, undying love."
    May you feel that love, grace, strength, and help in your life! Have a wonderful weekend! your cousin-- Melodie

  4. Crystal, I'm praying that your walking could improve. I was encouraged by the list of things you are grateful for. Just this morning I prayed that I could find joy in those "small things" in life. Love you lots -Rhonda
