Truly Blessed

Latisha Dawn Record

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.
