And God Said....


I said, "God, I hurt" And God said, "I know."
I said "God, I cry a lot." And God said, "That is why I gave you tears."
I said, "God, I am so depressed." And God said, "That is why I gave you sunshine."
I said, "God, life is so hard." And God said "That is why I gave you loved ones."
I said, "God my loved one died." And God said, "So did mine."
I said, "God, it is such a loss" And God said, "I saw mine nailed to a cross."
I said, "God, but your loved one lives." And God said, "So does yours."
I said, "God, where are they right now?" And God said, "Mine is on my right and yours is in the light."
I said, "God it hurts." And God said, "I know."

This really touched me as I am going through this rough patch in my life and I wanted to share it with you.

As you can see I am having difficulty getting my blog published.  My browser is no longer supported by Blogger and some parts of blogger will not work and I am having problems.  Has anyone else had this problem when Blogger went away?  However, I am doing well and am 7 days into my radiation treatments and so far, with God's help, I am doing okay.  Just a little more tired than usual but other than that I'm fine! Thank you all so much for your prayers. ((((((hugs))))) to all of you.   Jean

THIS MADE ME PAUSE

Think It Over I'll go where You want me to go, dear Lord; Real service is what I desire; I'll say what You want me to say, dear Lord - "But don't ask me to sing in the choir." I'll say what You want me to say, dear Lord; I like to see things come to pass; But don't ask me to teach girls and boys, dear Lord - "I'd rather stay in my class." I'll do what you want me to do, dear Lord; I yearn for the Kingdom to thrive; I'll give You my nickels and dimes, dear Lord - "But please don't ask me to tithe." I'll go where you want me to go, dear Lord; I'll say what You want me to say; I'm busy just now with myself, dear Lord - "I'll help you some other day." I came across this poem in a devotional in my room at America's Keswick at their Young At Heart conference this past December and thought you might enjoy it as much as I do.
