INCREDIBLE BLESSINGS!

 

INCREDIBLE BLESSINGS!

We all FACE many HARDSHIPS

In this world=but we

Have to ENDURE=we have

To live with PATIENCE-

We must HANG ON!

And we will find God=we

Will find INCREDIBLE BLESSINGS

In this world

“They strengthened the spirits

Of the disciples=

And exhorted them

To PERSEVERE=saying

'It is NECESSARY

For us=to undergo many hardships

To enter-

The Kingdom of God'” Acts 14:22

I have been living

With a CHRONIC ILLNESS

Since I am 22

Some HARDSHIPS linger

For years on end=others

Come suddenly=and

Leave suddenly

I don't think

That there any HARDSHIPS

In this life=

As tough as

LOSING a family member

Or close friend

The Corona virus has

CLAIMED many people=

And caused many hardships

But there still are

INCREDIBLE BLESSINGS=in this life

Life itself is a gift=and

An INCREDIBLE BLESSING

I am thankful for it

We MUST ENDURE

Through the tough times

In this life

“I will make them

And the places-

Surrounding my hills

A BLESSING

I will send down

Showers in season=

There will be=showers of BLESSING” Ezekiel 34:26

“BLESSINGS crown the head

Of the righteous

But violence=overwhelms the mouth

Of the wicked” Proverbs 10:6

We are ASSURED by God

Of his LOVE=and we are assured

Of INCREDIBLE BLESSINGS=incalculable blessings

FAMILY will help us

FRIENDS will help us=

Even people=we don't know

Will help us=

I have FOUND that

To be the case=

As I have found

Hardships in this life

I have been INCREDIBLY BLESSED

By all of the above

“Where there is no revelation-

People cast off restraint

But BLESSED is the one

Who heeds wisdom's instruction” Proverbs 29:18

“BLESSED are the poor

In spirit=for theirs is

The kingdom of heaven” Matthew 5:3

And ABOVE all that=

We have the CHURCH

To help us=just like

It did for the disciples

To “strengthen our spirit”

And “persevere in FAITH”

Yes=for all of our hardships=

Our God has given us

INCREDIBLE BLESSINGS=in this world

In Jesus' name=and in the name of the HOLY FATHER GOD=who always BLESSES US!
