I am stressed,

but I am blessed.

Sometimes it is best

to adopt the attitude of thanks.

Look at the things that happen in your life,

as happening for the best.

It will turn out to be for the best.

Total faith can take time.

Letting go and letting God,

can be a very hard test.

We must learn not to leave Him behind,

and to depend fully on Him,

and He will make it fine.

Things have gotten so hard.

You have to always be on your guard,

and it is hard to be positive in this day and age,

because the world has gotten so bad.

It is hard to make a decent wage.

How can a person be happy

with all there is to go through?

I know, I must not put on such negative airs.

It just isn’t fair,

but again, what is?

We were not promised a rose garden.

Everyone that makes it, makes it because

they took a stand for what was right,

and did what was needed

to regain their inner light.

We must take care of ourselves,

because there is no one else

to take on the task.

Too much selfishness

and things moving fast.

What does the year 2012 have to do with anything?

People thinking the world will end.

In God’s word he says

that we are not to know, nor try to figure out

when the end will be.

So is that not enough to make them see?

Doesn’t God’s word mean anything?

I know, stupid question.

For most, the answer is no.

People would rather keep their load

instead of being bold

and  manning up to the situation.

The ones that carry heaviness around are many.

A lot of them are ones that haven’t got a penny.

Lifestyles have changed,

because of lay-offs and poor health.

The realization is that,

to get anywhere and to live semi-decent,

a person must be privy to wealth.

The Government is not for the poor man.

So we have to make it the best way we can.

Take into consideration,

that we need a helping hand,

and cannot rely solely on man.

Our only option that will see us through,

would be to trust in the One

who says he will be closer like no other,

and promises to be closer than a brother.
