“The Master of Life's been good to me. He has given me strength to face past illnesses, and victory in the face of defeat. He has given me life and joy where other saw oblivion. He Has given new purpose to live for, new services to render and old wounds to heal.
Life and love go on, let the music play.” -Johnny Cash

I love it when you put up quotes that talk of affliction! I've started my own quote page now on affliction and add to it when I read new quotes. It has become a huge encouragement to me.
