My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9
When toward the close of his life W. E. Sangster (1900-1960), the noted Methodist preacher of London, England, learned that he had an incurable muscular disease, he made four resolutions: “I will never complain. I will keep the home bright. I will count my blessings. I will try to turn it to gain.” Expressing gratitude for little things, he wrote, “I have more time—and use it—for prayer.” Thirty months later he went to be with Christ. Sangster’s godly example should speak to all of us, especially when we may be experiencing deep trials or disappointments. —W. Ross Rainey
How many blessings I enjoy, that other people don’t,
To weep and sigh because I’m blind, I cannot, and I won’t!—Fanny Crosby
