Poems
A man who was very active with children who are visually impaired, he coordinated all the kids stuff through out the state,died this week. He had been battling cancer and it finally was too much for his body to handle. My prayers and energies are with his family as they cope with D's loss. He asked that these poems be read at his memorieal. and though I have a millian and one things to do, I wanted to share them.
Asking and Receiving God
I asked God for strength that I might achieve; I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for help that I might do greater things; I was given infirmity that I might do better things.
I asked for riches that I might be happy; I was given poverty that I might be wise.
I asked for power that I might have the praise of men; I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God I asked for all things that I might enjoy life; I was given life that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered I among all men, am most richly blessed.
PROMISES
God hath not promised skies always blue, flower-strewn pathways all our lives through; God hath not promised sun without rain, Joy without sorrow, peace without pain; But God hath promised strength for the day, Rest for the labor, light for the way, Grace for the trials, help from above, Unfailing empathy, undying love...
Stop and think of the important things, my friends, before we have no more time.
