Things these days seem insurmountable. Toronto's strange new world hits one in the face on a daily basis. Hijabs everywhere, incomprehensible languages from every corner - cell phones being the biggest culprit, simple orders that go wrong in restaurants and stores. In short, a city which is under siege and all with the blessings of the citizens.
How to enjoy these beautiful summer months?
Sometimes, quotes from here are the only solace.
Romans 8:35-39 (King James Version)
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
