A Book of Inspiration for Those with Physical Limitations

Strange gift indeed!—a thorn to prick,
To pierce into the very quick;
To cause perpetual sense of pain;
Strange gift!—and yet, 'twas giv'n for gain.

We enjoy receiving gifts. But what if the gift is painful—physically and/or emotionally? Though our small minds cannot always understand, God's gifts are always for our good. The thorns He gives are gifts with divine purpose.
