God’s Promise
God has not promised skies always blue,
Flower-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 labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.

Beautiful. That’s one I will print off and try to memorize, maybe I’ll have the kids do it too!
Thank you for sharing it!
I was thinking about the first verse of that poem and then the photo you posted. If God promised always blue skies-we would never see the beauty of a sunrise! I guess it just struck me that what we *think* we would want for ourselves, sometimes it would be just ‘settling’ for something when in reality, we would be missing something FAR greater that the Lord has in mind.
