[I am writting this in honor of our friend Pepper,(Shannon Feldkamp), who I have so much respect for,and who is having such a difficult time with her health- Please Pray for her. Thank You]

The Journey of Faith and Believing
No matter what might be the test,
Is found in the realization
That if we stay with it, we're blest!

The Valley of Tears and of Sorrow
The personal struggles we face,
May humble and bring us so low
But in due time, exalted by Grace.

The Hardness and Roughness of the road
May make the experience seem long,
But once we've transversed Life's great summits
We see it just helped make us strong!

The Joy of the Indominable Spirit
That's set on a Life full of Love,
Is that it makes Courage it's Character
And reflects the True God up above.

The Vision of Where life is leading
In Purposeful, True Destiny,
Will help to keep each day a Challenge
Which will bring Glad Eternity!

Wonderful write of faith and blessings. I do wish we could skip by the bumps and ruts in the road though.

Ah, David ...this is so beautiful and just what i needed to hear today! Pepper is surely blessed to have such a friend as you, as I am so grateful for your steadfast and blessed frienship. Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

We must endure some "struggles" to make us stronger. It all pays off in the end. Thanks for these encouraging words and I hope your friend gets better.
