Enduring Times

Everyday Life... Do we really ever see the bumpy roads that many have to endure? I think many times we only see the outside believing one may have the life of Cinderella...
I know many who are truly having to be very courageous through these summer months... Dealing with illness, finances, failed marriages.. ect.. Enduring these times we are at our best by being honest and down right inspiring... Tempers are flaring as our government are supposedly trying to fix our nation, and all the people really want is what is right, fair and equal treatment... It is for sure that no one seems to have the right recipe...
This morning has not been especially good one... as I am pressing hard to squash out negative thoughts and not waste time on them... So much seems to surround us and most of the time we do not have the ability to change people... Many times in the thought process I believe my life has been spinning since my teens and seems many of the times I am requesting for it to "Stop and let me get off.." Waking up this morning was one of realizing" I am not sleeping on no feather bed...." I am thinking I am just going to have to head to the kitchen before our fore casted in the 90's day totally slips in and make something that has wonderful aroma and causes pure delight as you partake of many little bites of contentment... Hum.. that is sounding like something chocolate and maybe brownies can fill that order.... and then there is that ice cream in the freezer that may taste good on a warm afternoon... OK... as I continue to realize throughout this post you can never be sure of anything lasting too long, success or happiness .... it is a must that we seize those moments.... when they are here and enjoy each and every moment...
I wish there were a iron clad way of fulfilling lives with love and passions and making it last... and throwing away negative thinking and walking under ladders with total confidence... but life seems to be a bit like a wrapped gift... you never know quite what is awaiting you inside......
PS. I just wanted to add a very good thought sent to me by a comment... She very positively stated that the bad times do not last forever either.... Now that is the power of positive thinking ... and inspiration we all need.... Blessings...

You say success and happiness does not last forever but neither do the bad times....this too shall pass.

Very true! I guess we just have to focus on the moment and be thankful for all the true blessings in our lives! Sometimes eating a brownie helps this process! lol~Hugs, Patti

boy, don't we all feel like that sometimes. And at times. like now, the discouragement and less than joyful life seems never ending. But, it has seemed like that before, and the downs do end.
"He turns our mourning into dancing."
"He rejoices over us with singing."
"His mercies are new every morning."

I'm trying to speak truth over my life, and the truth for me, is in His word.
