Oooh I LOVE this quote WOW!
So many misunderstand suffering and blame the sufferer for some odd reason.

Thankyou Esther that is one very powerful quote!

Peace & blessings

If it's ok with you Esther, I'd like to use that sometime also. Very thought provoking quote. I always say that I feel sorry for atheists...what do they do with their pain if they can't offer it up?

Of course Micki. I'm glad you liked it. I never thought of atheists like that. I wonder...
