What are you when the wind blows?

"The eternal substance of a thing is never in the thing itself, but in the quality of our reaction toward it. If in the hard times, we are kept from resentment, held in silence, and filled with inward sweetness, that is what matters. The event that distressed us will pass from memory as a wind that passes and is gone. But what we were while the wind was blowing has eternal consequences." - Amy Carmichael
