Good Things Life disappoints, it often seems. It's only perfect in our dreams And bad things sometimes come our way, But good things happen every day. The friends we cherish, always there, Our life events, with us to share. They surely are a gift from He Who watches over, constantly! Our families, the joys that lie Within each year as it goes by, That far outweigh the times of strife, Are treasures God puts in our life. All good things come from Him, you know. He guides us through each time of woe. He gives us strength, so we should say Prayers of thanks, to Him each day! Betty Lou Hebert [This message has been edited by Trillium (08-06-2002 11:35 AM).] |

(sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Betty, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!

Upbeat and uplifting verse. When we take the time to think about it and compare... ...You know make the two columns. (One column for the bad things and the other column for the good things that we have in our lives since we've come to the Lord.) I think most of us, if not all of us, can agree that the blessings of our Lord certainly more than enough out weigh the trials in life. Good poem. -Bob |

I agree....I'm so thankful for what God has given me. quote: These lines meant a lot to read, because I was just thinking the other night that without my friends I wouldn't have survived this summer....that's absolutely serious....I don't know what I would have done without them. Thank you Betty for this message and reminder.  ~Beth You look inside my wild mind |

BettyLou~ You write so beautifully truthful~ I have often had reason to recall Rev. Kushner's book ... 'When Bad Things Happen To Good People'... your poem reminded me of some of his thoughts in that endearing book~ Thank you sweet lady for sharing YOU with me~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
