Life takes an individual through at lot of changes. One minute we feel like we are sitting on top of the world. We have God by our side and all is well. The next minute, here comes the monkey wretch! Something or someone has thrown us under the bus.
Suddenly our mood has changed, we get caught up in our feelings. All the faith, hope, belief and enthusiasm that we once had has gone out the bottom of our shoe.
"Now what?"
Do we retreat the stance of faith we once had?
Do we fold over and crawl under our blanket of self pity?
Yes, some of us do and will probably do it again, before it's all over. Nevertheless, this too shall pass. Our faith stance must not waver to the point of total hopelessness.
We must get back up again. We keep pushing and keep hoping for a brighter day. We know that in time things will change for the better.
No one is always happy. Someday's are better than others. For the most part, we all know, we still have to do what we have to do. Honestly, no one who has faith wants to stay in a state of melancholy. We reach deep down inside of us, finding the strength to carry on.
Life is not always hunky dory. But, we keep pressing, we must keep pressing on! Blessings to all and Always Stay Encouraged!
