Everyone gets to the other side of great suffering eventually. It might be achieved only in the next life, but the slow recovery of another in this life stirs hope in us that we might endure as well.

We need to know how we get to the next day and declare that this is the day the Lord has made and that we can rejoice. We need examples of those who walk through the shadow of death and still find quiet waters and renewed faith. We need to declare these truths even on days that we struggle to believe them.
