We spent some time this weekend with our friend "Sue." Sue left a 30 year long abusive marriage last May, and is now trying to reconcile with her daughter, and son (whom she hasn't seen in years). Sue has been through a lot and yet always holds on to faith and to the belief that God hears her prayers and will answer them if she is patient. Sue has joy.
Sherri and I also visited Kim, who has been in and out of hospital most of her life, and yet keep smiling, and sharing God with other patients, and holding onto to God unswervingly. Kim has joy.
Women who suffer and yet keep going every day, and keep trusting in God, and keep demonstrating joy. Giants of the faith.

At one point in the evening, "Sue" brought out her photo album to show us pictures of her family and friends. As I saw empty spaces and pages where pictures used to be, I was struck by the realization that the emptiness represented so much pain and brokenness in her life.
