Suffer Faithfully!

Jeff Long gave me a book for my library "Bonhoeffer" a bio about Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German pastor who spoke out about Hitler and was executed!  It is not light reading!  A chapter a day is all I can do!

Today's chapter is about his idea that we should each take up our cross daily and "faithfully suffer!"  To do so is our task, our responsibility and our joy!  My sister, Julia, and I were talking about this yesterday and both of us agreed that our father did this daily without ever holding a grudge or a resentment!  Bonhoeffer went to his death with dignity and pride in his suffering!  Help me pitch resentments and grasp the day with joy!
