“To relinquish one of his/her unknown burden is both a blessing and a reward”

“Everyone can be discontented if he ignores his blessings and looks only at his burdens.”

“One true king knew when to step aside and give up the reins of power—to remove his crown and relinquish his kingdom—all for the sake of glimpsing, just once in a lifetime, the face of a holy child.He was the Fourth to follow the Star.His gift was a secret.The rest of his journey is unknown.”

“Real faith is holding blessings in one hand and suffering in the other, and trusting God to use both to accomplish His will.”

“I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.”

“Give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.”
