Life can pile up misfortune after misfortune without end. In such cases, it is easy to question one’s strength and ability to endure.

Everyone has experienced trying times. In his fairy tale “The Wild Swans,” Hans Christian Andersen proposes faith as the remedy. For faith trusts that everything happens for a reason and hopes for the future.
