Often, it is through
the most difficult days of our lives
that we come to know ourselves
and what is truly most important to us.

No matter how sad you may
feel at times, be confident
that hope will awaken
with you tomorrow.

Faith and courage reach out to you;
take hold of them, and you will find
that you will be able to smile again
and truly be happy once more.

How we deal with life
is really a matter of
personal choice,
so choose to be happy.

Find joy in the simplest things,
and see beauty in each person you meet.

When times are difficult,
remind yourself that no pain
comes to you without a purpose.

Above all, trust in
God's handcrafted plan
that He has made just for you.

Let Him love you through life's
joyous and painful aspects;
if you do,
you will find inner peace
and unending joy.
