โข"This Too Shall Pass"โข Early this day the sky was downcast until a shower had eventually poured. But I considered it as a sign and a blessing from above on this Easter morning. After a short while the rain subsided and the sun took over the sky again. In like manner, whatever difficulty that we are encountering at present, only one thing I'm sure of, "this too shall pass". And as St. Paul has encouraged us in his letter to the Corinthians, "do not lose heart." (2 Cor.โฆ
