Hello everyone,
Sorry I have been gone for a while! Luckily it was just two bouts with bronchitis, a sinus infection and pink eye. Luckily and just aren’t words we usually used in cases like that but, in light of what is going on in the world I feel very blessed and grateful to be strong and healthy again. I think that it is time to switch gears for a minute to feed our souls instead of our stomachs.
I have had a fair amount of challenges to overcome in my life and I would like to share what I believe is the one thing that has made the biggest difference for me in giving me strength to overcome them all!
From the time that I was a small child the one person in my life that has always been my very best friend is my Savior Jesus Christ! He has always been there, He has never let me down, He has blessed me in ways that I could not have imagined and even in the times that the outcome could not be what I had hoped it would. He was there caring me when my own strength was not enough!
This poem is a bit dated, but it will forever be one of my favorites. It helps me put things into perspective. I hope and pray that it is helpful for you as well!
