There is much to be thankful for
In this world we live in
But pain can blind us
And we can give in.
Not seeing what stands before our eyes
Blinded lies are looking down
Walking away from this that shines
With smiles that have been turned into frowns.
We need to get down on bended knee
Hands together, head bowing low
Thanking God for all he gives
Loving Jesus and letting all know.

Pain can definitely do a number on us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. But by his grace we can make it through even when it looks like we won’t or we throw up our hands.

i am so tired all the time, that at times i worry wondering why i want to sleep so much. do u think this is from the stress of it all Image?

Stress and having something so very important to do will just sap the life out of you. It is also a sign of being down. You want to just go someplace where you don’t have to do what you have to do…been there, done that, still do it sometimes.

That is very nice, Terry, let me know what the Doctor says about Al. You both are in my prayers.
Walk daily with God at your side!

Beautiful poem! I can relate to the immeasureable amount of pain that at times, seems like too much to carry. Yes, it does blind us from seeing the good…But..in those moments, I allow myself to cry, to mourn, to release the pain. Thank you for being real, your words are an encouragement. Hugs to you!
