Hidden Blessings

We are so blessed with many things
We’re blessed with good and bad
We’re blessed with things that make us smile
Some that make us sad

Some blessing are the gifts we have
And talents we possess
Like paintings or a song we sing
Or writings we express

These blessings help us grow inside
While sharing things we do
And often help the other folks
To see the hard times through

Some things are so difficult
The blessings hard to see
They often cloud or grip our lives
In spite of prayerful pleas

If we can learn to see the good
In things that get us down
Then we can see the blessing
In things that make us frown

It must have been so very hard
For Mary on that day
To watch her son be crucified
As she knelt down to pray

He was the perfect Son of God
So young, with much to do
And yet He was called home to God
A tortured death gone through

As we recall our Saviors life
And then our lives compare
It seems a little easier
To see the joy we share

For He has risen home to God
In heaven ‘s home above
And we can each be joining him
Because of the Fathers love

I want to thank you one and all for your comments to the things you are reading on my blog. I sometimes forget that you are there as I sit here in the quite of my room and try to type as fast as mind thinks...that can be tricky..most of you know I talk so imagine how difficult it is to type that fast:) I want you to know from the deepest place in my heart I do not write for your entertainment, I write for my therapy. I needed a place to sort some things out, and I have found an outlet for my sometimes twisted thoughts and emotions that have been bottled up for years. It is difficult to find friends who just want to be there for you. Most feel the need to council, others feel that don't know what to say so they just stay away, and then there are those who just don't really care because it is all about them...you have someone that just popped in your head didn't you:) I feel like I am talking to God not you. I am grateful that you tune in and enjoy my conversation with Him, but I do not blog to offend, to stir up trouble or to single out. I blog because God has given me a gift to express what I feel it is sometimes an eye opener to me by just putting it out there, perhaps you have read something that got you to think about the very thing I myself was wondering, or perhaps you read something that touched you in the same way it touched me when I stopped typing long enough to go back and read what my fingers are saying. If that is the case Praise God for His wonderful insight to you and to me. Please don't take it personal its about me, not you. I love to write poems, I love to express what God is doing in my life and I love that although I may not be able to sit down over a glass of Gary's famous sweet tea, that I can share it with you on my blog. I didn't realize how many people are reading this each day. But I love the comments I am recieving through my email and I love that you are being Blessed.Moral of this blog: "How we praise God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we belong to Christ."
