couple pain children
For a couple with young children, divorce seldom comes as a "solution" to stress, only as a way to end one form of pain and accept another.
oysters worry might
I wonder if we might pledge ourselves to remember what life is really all about—not to be afraid that we're less flashy than the next, not to worry that our influence is not that of a tornado, but rather that of a grain of sand in an oyster! Do we have that kind of patience?

It's a mistake to think that we have to be lovely to be loved by human beings or by God
