Suffering in "quietness" brings about growth-- the subject of my reading in Let Go today. When we go through times of trial-- times of suffering, we grow from the grace that God gives us through life lessons. The real trick is to hang onto these lessons when life returns to the "normal" busy day-to-day routine. The lessons and gifts that we receive through times of suffering are meant to go on with us through life-- in the "good times". Our prayer needs to remain that God imprints the lessons of suffering on our hearts so that we do not forget them in the better times.
