THE STORMS OF LIFE
Into each life a little rain must fall!
Suffering is the common lot of all mankind. While we wish to avoid all the
unpleasantness we can, in the end there are things that are unavoidable..
We are born through pain as our Mothers experience the intense labor that
accompanies birth, and as we grow old we suffer the maladies that always
accompany the aging process, and in between suffering comes to us in a
multitude of ways. The poem below is to encourage all of us to remember
that suffering will come to an end for those who have trusted Christ as their
deliverer; not only from suffering, but from death and eternal suffering.........

BE ENCOURAGED
March 25, 1986 - 8:30-8:45 a.m.
Be encouraged, for the storms of life will pass.
It is well known that the dark night leads to day,
And life's raging seas with calm as clear as glass,
Will reflect the brilliant sun's sweet healing ray.
God intended that the trials of life should come
To enrich us with the lessons we must learn
To prepare us for our great eternal home
At our Lovely Lord and Saviour's sure return.
Be encouraged then in this life's little while
Heaven gazes down upon us through it all
And the saints who passed before with knowing smile
In excitement, with us, wait the trumpet's call.
Rather labor through your sorrows filled with praise
For exceeding joy that nevermore will cease
Is complete in Him who measures all our days
Who alone gives life and joy and strength and peace.

God's Kind Care
God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all our life through,
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
God hath not promised we shall not know,
Toil and temptation, trouble and woe,
He hath not told us we shall not bear,
Many a burden, many a care.
God hath not promised smooth roads and wide,
Swift, easy travel needing no guide,
Never a mountain rocky and steep,
Never a river turbid and deep,
But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.
