God has not promised skies always blue
Flowers strewn pathways all our lives through!
God has not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain!
But God has promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labourer, light on the way!
Grace for the trial, help from above,
undying sympathy, unfailing love!

I can't brag about my love for God because I fail Him daily. But I can brag about His love for me because it never fails. ~ Anonymous, found on facebook by a fellow fb friend who found it on pinterest
Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
~ Proverbs 19:21
Prescription for Contentment:
1. Never allow yourself to complain about anything- not even the weather.
2. Never picture yourself in any other circumstances or someplace else.
3. Never compare your lot with another's.
4. Never allow yourself to wish this or that had been otherwise.
5. Never dwell on tomorrow- remember that tomorrow is God's, not ours.
