“ At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance..... We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again."
Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru (first Prime Minister of India)

I'm so sorry that August is a difficult month for you! I had a wonderful teacher who is from India. I remember how homesick she was for her family. She and her husband now run an orphanage in India.
ReplyDeleteMarch is the month that is hardest for me. I lost several family members that month; the hardest was losing my Dad. However, God also blessed me with my daughter in March. So, the first half of the month is sad but the second half is happy.
I'll pray that this month passes quickly and that September brings you much joy!
