May the words of the late Martin Luther King,Jr.soothe and inspire your soul.

Now
I say to you in conclusion,
life is hard,
at times as hard as
crucible steel.
It
has its bleak and difficult moments.
Like the ever-flowing waters
of the river,
life has its moments of drought and its moments of
flood.

Like
the ever-changing cycle of the seasons,
life has the soothing
warmth of its summers
and the piercing chill of its winters.

But
if one will hold on,
he will discover that God walks with him,

and
that God is able to lift you from the fatigue of despair
to the buoyancy of
hope
and transform dark and desolate valleys
into sunlit paths
of inner peace.

~ Martin Luther King Jr.
