in her 30's) and what that means. The whole time we were talking, I kept thinking about a talk I heard when I was a teenager. The speaker had a piece of string and had it stretched across the room and compared the string to eternity and our time on this planet to a small thread of the string. Of course, there really is no end of the string, so the analogy isn't perfect.

But for someone who usually has a very difficult time looking at things long term, this is a helpful way for me to remember how short our pain and suffering is in the grand scheme of eternal plans.

Big hugs to you!
