The Way to GOD

I received a card from someone that I don't know....she knows my cousin in Illionois and she sent me this beautiful card.

The Way to God:
If my days were untroubled and my heart always light,
Would I seek that fair land where there is no night?
If I never grew weary with the weight of my load,
would I seach for God's peace at the end of the road?
If I never knew sickness and never felt pain,
would I reach for a hand to help and sustain?
If I walked not with sorrow, and not lived with loss,
Would my soul seek sweet solace at the foot of the cross?
If all I desired was mine day by day,
Would I kneel before God and earnestly pray??
I ask myself this, and the answer is plain-
If my life were all pleasure and I never knew pain, I'd seek God less often and need Him much less,
For God's sought more often in times of distress
And NO ONE knows God or sees Him as plain as those who have met HIM on the pathway to pain!!!!


She then wrote me a letter telling that I am an inspiration to her....but no, you all who send me these messages and cards and letters...YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION!!!  We serve an awesome God people!!!!  I pray that you each have a wonderful Christmas holiday with your families and please know that you are all truly blessed beyond any circumstance you feel is holding you back.  Our God has a reason as HE has such a great plan....just hold on tight and pray even harder because our little minds cannot come close to comprehending what He has in store for us.  I love each and every one of you so much and look forwarding to hearing for you all!!!  Love to you all!!!!
