“Does this mean we will always understand our challenges? Won't all of us, sometime, have reason to ask, 'O God, where art thou?' Yes! When a spouse dies, a companion will wonder.

Then, in the dawn of our increased faith and understanding, we arise and choose to wait upon the Lord, saying, 'Thy will be done.'” MayMeanChildrenDoeArtReasonDoneJoyMotherNightDiesAsksFatherWaitingUnderstandingChallengesWonderLordMorningPathCrySorrowAdversityEndureFinancialAriseWanderDawnCompanionHardshipSpouseWeepingMother And FatherThy Will Be DoneFinancial Hardship Author:Robert D.
