At work you worry over the family at home. At home you fret over work left undone. Behold the working woman's stress.

Take a hard look at those things, which we needlessly turn into burdens, when they were meant to be blessings.

Whatever our personal burden or cross to bear might be, we are here. We live! We Learn! The Grand Adventure is under way for us. Terrible as our trials might be, we are blessed and not abandoned by God.

Every burden on the back can become a gift in the hand.

Unless inside, where no one sees, our soul is kneelling, too, a prayer is not so likely to get through.

If we want to be used for the benefit of mankind-helping the Lord with his mission-we must ourselves be in a position to be used by him.

What this misguided world and generation needs is a massive group of courageous and caring, wise and unwearying women.
