An Afterthought...

Marianne's post yesterday (below) made me think of a great concept from C.S. Lewis. In The Great Divorce, an angel is explaining heaven and hell to a "ghost" and says, "[Mortals] say of some temporal suffering, 'no future bliss can make up for it,' not knowing that Heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even that agony into a glory." I can only imagine the "glory" that awaits those who have endured such trials as yours, Marianne!
