grant me this

"Whatever else Thou sendesst, oh, send this-
Not ecstacy of love or lover's kiss,
But strength to know the joy of sacrifice,
To see life deeply as with opened eyes!
Oh, grant me this, dear God,
Through tears of loss-
To know the joyous secret
Of Thy Cross."
-Ralph Spaulding Cushman

You don't know me, but I am living with the Grens right now and we received your Christmas card today. I was deeply intrigued about what the "Wie-biffer-icks" are... so much so that I googled. I didn't find the answer to my question (And Mr. Gren wasn't around to tell me) but I found this blog and I assume you are a member of the Wie-biffer-icks. I'm highly amused!

I thought about not commenting, but then I decided to anyways because I admire the writing I've glanced through on here and I hope God will continue to bless and use you. Merry Christmas!
