“Have no anxiety. Sometimes what’s worse than being sick is being afraid of getting sick. Leave it to God. Whatever God gives you is best for you. God never gives you a cross without first weighing and measuring it very carefully to make sure that the cross will result in your spiritual growth.”
-Elder Amilianos of Simonopetra

I am attracted to the concept of carefully weighing and measuring … my goodness, sometimes that cross is heavy and yet … bearable.
