Does strength through suffering sound appealing? I’m not talking about the suffering in working your physical body to make it strong but suffering through hardships that produce eternal benefits.

Closer To Your Heart; To Live on A Balcony!
As my husband and I toured the Biltmore Estate for a second time, I was pleasantly surprised to find a terrace opened for our viewing pleasure.
