When the Going Gets Tough.....

Yes I've been through the mill
but stronger for it...happier too.
Though I forgave... but cant forget
I remember the lessons I learned so well.

Think of others before yourself.
Give to others from the little you have
 share a smile..wish others well
 extend love to everyone.

Pain and hardsip were my fare
for many a day ...many a year
but time... that  soothing balm
heals the heart...touches  the spirit with a gentle hand,
  while Angels  loving and kind 
strengthen us in difficult times.

The body may suffer..the heart tremble,
may be pierced by  thorns and thistle
which in the end ....burn and shrivel.
God sees ....He knows and 
walks beside us thwarting evil.
Do not worry..have no fear
He is always near.

He knows not time....but He's  in charge.
The tests he sends us.....
Make us stronger...and tougher
helps us view each day 
 from a new perspective.
Thank you Father,
I'll do whatever you say
and never .....never will I question Your  way.
