Life's Lesson For You

This is GOD'S GIFT to YOU Tell yourself upon waking everyday god is merciful and kind He will not put anything on me today I can't handle Live one day at a time yesterday is gone and tomorrow hasn't come it is today I am worthy I will I will make it thru just today The sun will come out tomorrow if you believe god brings you to it he will bring you thru it Now with this being said I must tell you a true story I have brain cancer and it is in my memory I have had brain surgery and a year of chemo but I have a lot of problems with health and mental and well I am a village idiot most of the time but I live in a town where the closed a mental hospital so I feel right at home now. So you are not alone most nights I lie awake and this computer is my only friend my daughter saved my life not once but twice I mixed chemicals in the bath tub while trying to clean it. The other time I had a diabetes things where I passed out. Always trust in god I know it gets hard sometimes and you want to give up but he is in control. I still have brain cancer but he said believe in what I say it will be ok. I have given him total control and he has me 9yrs more but they are not a bed of roses either so you have to expect a thorn or two along the way.
