Tonya had sent to me, it is playing in the loop on here - it is called Our Hope Endures by Natalie Grant.
Some lyrics from the song really hit hard:
You would think only so much can go wrong.
Calamity only strikes once
And you assume that this one has suffered her share
Life will be kinder from here
Sometimes the sun stays hidden for years
Sometimes the sky rains night after night
When will it clear
Have you ever had a time in your life where nothing goes right, where you have no good karma while others -good karma just follows them and they catch all the breaks in the world. Does one deserve to have bad karma, I know when you go through life, some situations are suppose to make you stronger and I know we are put into situations that we can handle, but I wonder sometimes how much one has to suffer for the good karma to begin....
Dad had a busy weekend. Friday he had quite a few visitors in, playing cards and watching the basketball games on TV. Aunt Joy and Aunt Rita had come over also, but dad was with his guy friends as Aunt Rita said, so the girls mainly visited. Saturday he spent the day watching his new granddaughter Kali and today well, it was family dinner day :) - He was exhausted and just really not feeling too well. Hopefully he gets much needed rest tonight and will feel better tomorrow. I know Aunt Rita and Aunt Joy are leaving tomorrow to go see Uncle Wally - I wish them a very safe trip. I know it will be a good trip for them.
I hope everyone was able to enjoy the weather - it was a beautiful day!
Much love to all,
Dear Michelle
ReplyDeleteI know that I have had many of those "bad" days. At my age I suspect that everyone (even those who look as if they lead a charmed life) has those times of darkness and sadness. Somehow strength and joy comes again. Always through the power of family, friends, and most of all the grace of God who helps us to trust in life and goodness again.
Love
Aunt Rita
Michelle-
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work. Hug your Dad for all of us.
I thought you may find some value in this.

Michele,
ReplyDeleteLife has it's ups and downs....the downs are what really "suck", here is a Memo from God to help
To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: GOD
Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE
This is God. Today I will be handling All of your problems for you. I do Not need your help. So, have a nice day.
I love you. And, remember... If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours. Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now. Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you. You may have touched their life in ways you will never know!
Now, you have a nice day.
God
This came from a e-mail that was sent to me and I thought that it fit the time and situation.
Take care,
Love,
"Aunt" Carol
we are filling God's box to overflowing! An expression I have always liked is "pray like everything depends on God & work like everything depends on you!"
