Something To Ponder

My parents introduced me to a book series by Richard Paul Evans, The Walk.  I just finished the second book, Miles to Go and some of the final words struck me and I felt as though I should share them.

"For there are moments in all lives, great and small, that we must trudge alone our forlorn roads into infinite wilderness, to endure our midnight hours of pain and sorrow-- the Gethsemane moments, where we are on our knees or backs, crying out to a universe that seems to have abandoned us.
These are the greatest of moments, where we show our souls.  These are our "finest hours."  That these moments are given to us is neither accidental nor cruel.  Without great mountains we cannot reach great heights.  And we were born to reach great heights."
