Perspective

Tuesday, at surgery, I was chatting with a lady who was going to have surgery.

So, this lady said she had 3 kids. I asked her the ages of the kids...she paused...
"Well, my first child died. My second child is grade 3. And my last child died."

I asked if she knew Jesus and prayed that he would continue to help her carry this burden of her children dying. She responded with...

"My suffering is nothing compared to what Jesus suffered!"
