The mark of the wise is to praise God even in the presence of misfortunes!

It's hard to do, but very true. I had a friend (deceased now) who said "I never had any peace until I thanked God for the problems." So much power in the sentences you write.

Thank you for relating the story of your late friend! He must have been a special person to say something like this! God bless His soul and God bless you my friend, SW!

Beautiful and knowledgeable souls are bearers of love, light, beauty and faith.. and only those souls are capable to give in grace and show an infinite gratefulness to God.. A masterful of Monoku dear Demetrios.. stay blessed always.
