• "The one resolution, which was in my mind long before it took the form  of a resolution, is the key-note of my life.  It is this, always to regard as mere impertinences of fate the handicaps which were placed upon my life almost at the beginning.  I resolved that they should not crush or dwarf my soul, but rather be made to  blossom, like Aaron's rod, with flowers."
  
  
  -- Helen Keller (1880-1968) American Writer

  If Helen Keller, completely deaf and blind, could have this attitude - and if her life could be such a lovely example of blossoms coming forth - what could we do with our strong, healthy bodies and unimpaired faculties, if we resolve that our own problems, handicaps, shortages, will not crush or dwarf our souls? If we resolve to live out the truth of Romans 8:28 - that ALL things work together for good, for those who love God?
