Just what I needed

The following quote from my prayer journal was exactly what I needed to read today. Maybe it will speak to you as well.

“He comes to us in the brokenness of our health, in the shipwreck of our family lives, in the loss of all possible peace of mind, even in the very thick of our sins. He saves us in our disasters, not from them. He emphatically does not promise to meet only the odd winner of the self-improvement lottery: He meets us all in our endless and inescapable losing.” ~Robert Farrar Capon

And I see we have another fan of "The Help." What a great book.
