Passage of the Day - May 13, 2011

Ecclesiastes 7:3

  ³Sorrow is better than laughter,
         For when a face is sad
         a heart may be happy.

One cannot have a happy heart without a healthy heart.  Evidence of a healthy heart is sorrow and pain.  If someone cannot feel sorrow or pain, their heart is cold and hard and incapable of being happy.  However, being able to sympathize and empathize with others and to share their sorrow is an extension of the joy that is in our hearts.
