The Thought of the Day

Published 4 May 2017

Good morning my dear families and friends I hope that we all had a good night’s rest.

The thought for today reminds us that “It hurts to love someone and not to be loved in return, but is more painful to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift! . Have a blessed Thursday.
