Having Faith To Continue

It's been there for as long as I know now here I am in my sixty-fifth year and its still showing it's ugly head daily confrontation comes so very near But believe I'm here for a purpose even when the reasons are not seen receiving real faith never to give up going that extra mile make yourself mean Words are so very difficult to say no day went past my tongue will block but my inner strength kept me going God gave me strength to try to talk This stammer has truly haunted me when thinking I'm beating it I fall but inside I know never give up don't let it beat you I hear a call So now I attend a new therapy hoping and praying for a breakthrough even just to control it a little better continue to activate my walking shoe (Looking back on life's struggles and how faith in God has pulled me through)

Gordon, I really enjoyed this piece. I find it funny how hard we try and yet sometimes dont realize He is there every step of the way.

We all face many obstacles in lifes path, very frustrating at times but you're right Gordon, when we fall down our faith picks us up. When I see others less fortunate than myself I always count my blessings. Tom.

Thanks Tom, good to hear from you and so true what you say and indeed always good to count our blessings compared with others. Hope things well with you, it's wet and windy over here in Scotland.
