A poem.

Today I was going to post about Davis walking and talking. Talk about past events and really just non sense. But (instead) today I will share a poem with you. Sometimes, you need to pause in life, and appreciate the simplicity of it. No matter how hard of a day, week, month, or year you are having there is hope for a better tomorrow. We are never alone and, I believe there is a reason for everything that happens in life.

We Cant... but God Can


Why things happen as they do we do not always know,

And we cannot always fathom why our spirits sink so low...

We flounder in our dark distress, We are wavering and unstable

But when we're most inadequate The Lord God's always able...

For though we are incapable, God's powerful and great,

And there's no darkness of the mind that God can't penetrate

And all that is required of us whenever things go wrong

Is to trust in God implicitly with a faith that's deep and strong,

And while He may not instantly unravel all the strands

Of the tangled thoughts that trouble us-

He completely understands...

And in His time, if we have faith, He will gradually restore

The brightness to our spirit that we've been longing for...

So remember, there's no cloud too dark

For God's light to penetrate

If we keep on believing And have faith enough to wait!


- A Collection of Love Gifts

My sweet mother shared this poem (found by Aunt Pat) at her cousin's funeral yesterday. A life that was taken much too soon. Even though I didn't know him well, His legacy will live on forever. From this day forward I will love those around me a little bit more and show a little more kindness. I will take fewer things for granted and appreciate the simple things. Life is precious, don't let it pass you by.
