My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart he is mine forever. Psalm 73:26

It Takes the Bitter and the Sweet to Make a Life Full and Complete
Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain,
Laughter and teardrops,
Pleasure and pain
Low tides and high tides
Mountains and plains,
Triumphs, defeats and loses and gains
But ALWAYS in ALL WAYS
Gods guiding and leading
And He alone knows the things
Were most needing
And when He sends sorrow or
some dreaded affliction,
Be assured that it comes
With Gods kind benediction
And if we accept it
As a GIFT OF HIS LOVE,
Well be showered with blessings
From OUR FATHER ABOVE
