Her enthusiasm on the job masks the ache within. But a visit to her house and the other side of this popular lady is revealed as she talks of her children. The others are making progress, she admits, except one who though in her teens, is mentally retarded. With a tinge of pain, she intones – ?she is my cross, which I have to carry.?

?Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest? ? Mathew 11: 28 (KJV)

God knows the pain which is not obvious on the outside.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
