Piloting Faith: Change is like a kidney stone...?

A Word for the Day...

I was talking with a friend going through a difficult time. At the end of the conversation, she sighed deeply, and said, "I suppose I should remember that this too shall pass." I nodded and thought about a sign I saw recently in an antique store. It said, "This too shall pass. It might pass like a kidney stone. But it will pass." Isn't that the truth?

It's good to remember that nothing stays the same. Change is the constant. Sometimes getting through the pain is the only way to heal.
