solved with
God's
help, the
knowledge that at
home or in
the
world outside we are
partners in a
common effort, the
well-

human beings are
important, the
proof that
love freely given surely brings a
full return, the
certainty that

square pegs in
round holes but can
fit and
belong in
God's

pomp and

no heap of
material possessions, could
possibly be
substitutes.
