Truly Blessed
To be truly blessed
one must endure pain
To be truly blessed
one must endure loss
To be truly blessed
one must endure suffering
To be truly blessed
one must endure tragedy
To be truly blessed
one must understand that life is not easy...
not perfect...
not a fairy tale
To be truly blessed
one must understand what a blessing is...
someone unexpected God has sent
to share life with...
something not asked for that God has sent
to give us joy
To be truly blessed one must experience
the true blessing of unanswered prayer.
