Counsel One's Self

Having lived nearly four score and ten but for five years that's left to go I've experienced many things in all my life some self counsel's needed don't say no I've had my stammer all of life why oh why does it continue still there many prayers have gone up to heaven but no comes down repeatedly to bare Listen you don't know what tomorrow brings never lose hope God's promised to do you good He loves you more than you can imagine knowing your self since before birth in every mood No doubt deep down nerves so tense cling to peace call on real calm God is love giving His son for me hold on to Jesus He's my healing balm Tell myself I can conquer this have confidence to speak out anyway, does it really matter? in how I can speak, just shout! (I did write this from the standpoint of giving myself advice, to see what would that advice be on what was most important to me.)

Hello Gordon McConnell,I have had a conversation with someone that is in the same situation as you. I listened until the conversation was done. Wished the person well. then was on my way. It is a speech problem many people have it. They get on with their lives. Have a nice day my friend.

Life presents many challenges and we don't always get what we want, we just have to make the best of what we have. That saying there's always someone worse of than you and I always try and live by that. Interesting verse Gordon. Tom.

Thanks Tom, Glad you liked it and for your reassuring comment, I try to go for what you say too myself as there's always someone worse off than me. Have a blessed day, Gordon
