The Faith of a Wife Quotes

“I wish I had an answer, but I fear I do not.” Her gaze traveled out to the field, her gaze unfocused at the horizon. “I do not know why we lost everything. I do not know why the Lord removed us from all we knew.” She turned back to look him in the eye. “But I do know that it is best not to dwell on the past. When I focus on what I have lost, I stay sad and in darkness. But when I focus on the tender mercies we have endured during this time, my heart is full and joyful. I would rather be joyful than in despair. So, although I do not have answers, I choose the path that leads to happiness.”
