Understand

Father again I come to You distraught Seeking peace and understanding Sometimes hurting but always blessed I seek a life much less demanding They say there is no distance Between a loser and a winner But the gap is so much greater Between a saint and compulsive sinner I’ve seen pain and sorrow, hurt and anguish At times my life’s been so stressed I’ve had joys and miracles, faith, hope and love I can’t understand why I’ve been so blessed This year I’ve lost so much And almost lost my son I cry when I look back And see all the wrong I’ve done Father help me understand The meaning of all that I’ve observed Why have there been so many blessings In a life so undeserved.

God loves a humble contrite heart; you give me a glimpse into the precious heart you have.

A righteous man is continually blessed Vince.. all the Psalms state it so and refresh the heart mind and spirit.. your son being save is indeed one of God's miracles.. I lost my son at 5 months old but God blessed me with four more wonderful young men .. to see everyday His Blessings to a humble sinner... the Beatitudes are the most expressive words in the Bible.. our guidelines.. enjoy His past present and future blessings Vince..with luv..

This brought tears today....how well you have expressed which each one of us have felt at some time or another.....why things happen as they do, and why us? With the heartache life can bring...also are the reminders of our blessings..which sometimes get overshadowed by our fear and pain. Thanks for the reminder today. God Bless~ Love Carrie

He first loved us while yet we were sinners he died for us that we might have life and have it more abundantly...That is a blessing beyond compare and that alone...Great write about your love, faith, and devotion..How is your son doing? I hope that he is still getting better...Sara
