It all seemed so wasted the time spent in pain or misery but it even the past hurts can be redeemed by "offering it up" to Jesus. And who knows who may be helped by uniting our pain to his?!?

Specifically, He uses it to increase our love. <br /><br />Willing suffering is the food of love. That may seem crazy, but try it! Take some one you want to love more and offer something up (to God) for them.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14745372502346991328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-2834635994186530072011-12-12T23:55:05.441-08:002011-12-12T23:55:05.441-08:00Please explain the Divine Chaplet - since I don...Please explain the Divine Chaplet - since I don't think I know what that is - and I am a cradle Catholic!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383223698959645624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-48728081199295536432011-12-12T12:16:10.118-08:002011-12-12T12:16:10.118-08:00This topic reminds me of what I would tell my daug...This topic reminds me of what I would tell my daughter when she was little when she would say she did not like to do something or other ..."You don't have to like it, you just have to do it."Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714440790407126206noreply@blogger.com
