I have learned that life is hard. Things pop up everyday that has to be dealt with. For a long time I could not manage the stress and piles of daily problems. My prayers were selfish and on me. Expecting the Lord to just drop everything and fix Linda's issues. Once I began to realize that there are so many people out there with the same story or worse, I began to see the blessings in my life. And there are so many. I praise the Lord every day and all day for everything and all things. The Lord always has a purpose for every trial and trouble that we have. Every illness. Even death. The purpose may not be clear now. It may never be clear. But rest assured, there is a purpose there. A good purpose. So rise every morning and thank praise the Lord that you are able to take another breath and see another day. Give it to Him and He, with the Holy Spirit will guide you thru. Give it to Him and your shoulders will be lighter, your heart stronger and your days sweeter.
