Remember

Memories!  

We all have memories.  Good ones!  Bad ones!

During my rehab for depression at the ranch in Arkansas I wrote the following poem.

I trust that it will be a blessing to you today:

REMEMBER

When faith has been shattered
And all hope seems gone,
Your life's filled with gloom and despair;
Remember that others
Have fought the same fight,
Each moment the Father was there.

Your trial seems unique and
You're so overwhelmed,
You think you've been left all alone;
Remember that others
Have walked the same road,
And somehow have found their way home.

The terrors and heartaches
You battle each day,
Have purpose that you cannot see;
Remember that Jesus
Stands waiting for you,
I know 'cause He's done it for me.

So don't waste your sorrows
And give up the fight
For someday you will see His hand;
Remember that you will
Be able to say...
"I've been there and I understand."
