It's Faithful Friday Time #13

I know you are all going to be shocked and amazed, but this is going to be a short post, well I guess short for me.

A few weeks after Shawn passed and after I had lost the baby I received a card in the mail from an Aunt of Shawn's. It was just a simple card, telling me that they were thinking about me, and hoping I was doing well. Inside the card was this quote,

"People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in,
their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within."
-Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Do you find this quote to be true? Do you know somebody that has faced a difficult time or situation, and shown true beauty with how they handled the situation because of what that person had within them?

I second that!! You seem to have that "shining light" that I only come across once in a while.

As well, after all that Jennifer from MCK has been through and now they are finally seeing the actual light outside the end of the tunnel, I think she has been amazing through Stellan's whole ordeal. She has shown amazing strength as a Mom.

Great post, and great quote!
