Good morning, Polly. Happy Friday.
Don't despair, take your troubles to God.
I will say a prayer for you and your family.
Have a Blessed Weekend.
I quoted to my sister yesterday, a saying from the classic " Anne of Green Gables"...
Marilla Cuthbert...responding to Anne's depression, when Anne asks Marilla, "Do you ever find yourself in the depths of despair?" Marilla answers her very plainly: "No. To despair is to turn your back on God."
We all feel it at one time or another....the valley of despair....but it is wonderful to ultimately know that God will take up through and on Eagles Wings at that!!
Okay Polly, now your preaching!! LOL
Have a good morning all.
Polly
Ps Johnn , Yorkie...any poems on despair and trust??
DESPAIR OF THE EARLY MORNING
Despair of the early morning
Despair of the darkness
Despair of the Despair
Despair of Old Age
Despair of the road closed
Despair of nothing to do
Despair of nowhere to go
Despair of endless errands
Despair of money running out
Despair of the message of Despair
One transmits to those one loves.
Despair that has to be resisted
Despair that the light of the day
Will help me overcome
Despair I will pray my way out of
Despair I will in the course of the day
Sometime overcome.
Not the great Despair
The unending Despair
The final Despair.
The small Despair of who I am and where I am now.
The Despair that still can be resisted,
By the writing of a few awkward lines
Early in the morning.
Shalom Freedman
Polly, that poem includes about everything...the things we despair over lots of times...just things we don’t need to despair over, but we are all human.
I was in a hurry or I could have found something better. I have Red Hats luncheon today and I am the hostess today and I have “despaired” over that....LOL!
