A MESSAGE FROM FATHER ARNOLD
A group of onlookers shouted: "What a pity the rose has a lot of thorns!" Another group of spectators exclaimed: "Isn't that beautiful for the thorns to have a rose?"
You can see the rain as a curse or a blessing from above.
Think positive! Thanks for the little rain we have.
Life is a blessing and you are a blessing!
You are blessed!
