The other day I spoke with one of my friends and she said that the only way that she could finally find peace in her life was to forgive the person that had abused her.
She said it took awhile for her to be able to let go of the wrongs done to her, but once she had started on the path of forgiveness, she was finally able to let go.
What a relief she felt when she was able to let go of that heavy, heavy burden.
I asked her how she was able to forgive, what was it that she did? She told me "through prayer, it was the only way to find peace"
Matt. 11: 29-30
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Blessings from being poor
I spoke to a friend that had underwent very financially challenging times while raising her family. She told me that it has blessed her life as well as her children's; "...they have become creative people. They have become hard workers....They're not lazy...I would not have developed such a compassionate heart....I cannot see anyone go hungry now."
