Hi, Danielle,
I was in God's word, and I came across a verse and thought of you with all
you're going through right now!

James 1:12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he
has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised
to those who love him.

Leanne

compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of
the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of
