A Vale of Tears
We are sure God wants us to be happy, joyous, and free.
We cannot subscribe to the belief that this life is a vale
of tears, though it once was just that for many of us. But
it is clear that we made our own misery. God didn't do it.
Avoid then, the deliberate manufacture of misery, but if
trouble comes, cheerfully capitalize it as an opportunity
to demonstrate His omnipotence.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (The Family Afterward) p. 133
Thought to Ponder . . .
Happiness and peace of mind are always here,
open and free to anyone.
