COT:
Clearly one aspect of this mortal existence is to deal with suffering. We all will suffer in various ways. Paul in 2 Corinthians discusses that suffering can be a blessing and we can be comforted. Don’t forget that often WE are the ones that must comfort those around us in their suffering to offer the helping hand and in doing so we may find comfort from our own suffering whatever it may be.

COT: Had a flight cancelled over the weekend and had to wait on stand-by. My friend and I managed to get the last two tickets, but it gave me a chance to reflect on the fact that people are in this situation for almost every flight. Takeaways are to be grateful for the things we have because others may be more than happy to for even the little things we take for granted, and to use those things we have to help better the lives of others.
