Thank God for parents who helped me when I could have been left to scrapping the bottom.
And for my dad who said, "There are better days ahead."

No matter how bad things got for me in my life, I have never had a problem finding others much worse off. I have learned never to say "It can't get any worse" because it can.

Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.

To walk a mile in their shoes we will never do, therefore be cautious to judge, just ask for blessings that every child, woman, and man be free of all tyranny and prejudice, that they have a warm dwelling, fresh pure water to drink, warm clothing, and food to nourish them; and bless them them if share share any excess of these treasures with mankind and beast.
