The world began as darkness.
Life is hard.
People can be cruel.
Circumstances can be difficult.
Best efforts can end in failure.
On any given day
There are numerous reasons
To rail and weep.
Only you can decide
How much time and energy
You'd like to devote to
Those two activities.
For while
I'll grant you all the reasons
You want to be granted...
There are really no excuses.
I can say that
Because there is also light.
Life is a miracle in and of itself.
People can be kind
And generous and amazing.
Circumstance will conspire for us
As much as they will against us
And they are constantly changing.
Our worst mistakes can
Teach us
Our greatest lessons and
Sometimes even result in
The most incredible blessings.
On any given day
There are numerous reasons
To laugh and sing.
Only you can decide
How much time and energy
You'd like to devote to
Those two activities.
I will not lie...
It is a battle.
And let me warn you
I fight dirty.
The next time
You are cruel to me
I'm going to pray for you...
That God will save you
From whatever pain was so great
You felt the need
To make me bear it with you.
Yep that's right!
The fervent prayer of a woman
Who loves her God.
Try to defeat that...
(visualize ant versus atomic bomb.)
I have my joy and peace
Shipped in daily and
My supplier well, let's just say
He's bigger than you and
Significantly more powerful.
Wisdom is my favorite weapon
Though I am still being trained
To use it properly.
I am an eager if not excellent student.
There is dark and there is light.
And every day you have a choice
Of where you want to dwell...
Physically
Mentally
Emotionally
Spiritually.
Just so you know...
Darkness is temporary.
The light will always defeat it.
What are you bringing to the battlefield today?
Light or darkness
Hope or despair
Love or hate.
What's in that bag of thought and plans
You packed for this weeks journey?
Me...I have graham crackers
Chocolate
And marshmallows (figuratively speaking)
And you, well now that you are here...
What say we set the world on fire
I'm craving some smores!
