She was not the kind of person who was refined
She was not the kind of woman who was unrefined
She was the kind of woman who kept a parrot
Mark Twain
Refinement
Gold is refined by fire
Life is refined by living
Words are refined through loving
Today
It's your life to find and refine
and that's poetiquejustis
Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved
genuine. When Jesus wraps this all up, it’s your faith, not your gold,
that God will have on display as evidence of his victory. I Peter 1:6-7 (The Message Version)
