"We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us - they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady. Then, when that happens, we are able to hold our heads high no matter what happens and know that all is well, for we know how dearly God loves us, and we feel this warm love everywhere within us because God has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love." 
"Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the mind and healing to the body."
~ Proverbs 16:24

I asked you :
Who said this? 
"Speak softly and carry a big stick."
a) Grover Cleveland
b) Warren G. Harding
c) Theodore Roosevelt
If you thought that perhaps it was Warren G. Harding 
. . . nope, sorry 
instead I believe it was Theodore Roosevelt who first used the phrase in a speech at the Minnesota State Fair on September 2, 1901, twelve days before the assassination of President William McKinley.
A Scottish lad and lass were sitting together on a heathery hill in the Highlands. They had been silent for a while, when the lass said, "A penny for your thoughts."
The lad was a bit abashed, but he finally said, "Well, I was thinkin' how nice it would be if ye'd give me a wee bit of a kiss."
So she did so. But he again lapsed into a pensive mood which lasted long enough for the lass to ask him, "What are ye thinkin' now?"
To which the lad grumbled, "Well, I was hopin' ye hadn't forgot the penny!"
