Hey everybody,
I've been inactive for quite a while- first I want to apologize to all my friends for not bumping for so long. I've been going through lifes trials & just can't squeeze in any time to get on. I wanted to share this poem with everyone because it has helped me so much-I hope everyone is doing well & hopefully before long I'll be back in the swing :)
One Day At A Time
-------------------
One day at a time,with it's failures and fears,
With it's hurts and mistakes, with it's weakness and tears,
With it's portion of pain and it's burden of care;
One day at a time we must meet and must bear.
One day at a time to be patient and strong;
To be calm under trial and sweet under wrong;
Then it's toiling shall pass and it's sorrow shall cease;
It shall darken and die, and the night will bring peace.
One day at a time-but the day is so long,
And the heart is not brave,and the soul is not strong,
O Thou pitiful Christ, be Thou near all the way;
Give courage and patience and strength for the day.
Swift cometh His answer, so clear and so sweet;
"Yea I will be with thee, thy troubles to meet;
I will not forget thee, nor fail thee, nor grieve;
I will not forsake thee; I never will leave"
Not yesterday's load we are called on to bear,
Nor the morrow's uncertain and shadowy care;
Why should we look forward or back with dismay?
Our needs, as our mercies, are but for the day.
One day at a time, and the day is His day;
He hath numbered its hours, though they haste or delay.
His grace is sufficient; we walk not alone;
As the day, so the strength that He giveth His own.

Wow, that is an intense yet truthful poem that really does describe how life goes sometimes. You have been missed my friend. I haven't been around much either, but did notice that you had been MIA. I hope all is better now and you made it through lifes rocky stretch. It has been that way for us too. That poem really does speak volumns...I keep looking back up and reading it again. As for me, I seem to live more by quotes than poems or songs. One of my favorites is by Henry W. Longfellow..."Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody." My other favorite that really keeps me going when times are tough is from the Bible...it is the 23 Psalm. I am really so glad you are back meme. Hugs.
