You know something. All of life is a challenge. You work for something that may never come to be yet you still have to try. Loo and behold, sometimes you actually achieve your goal. I don’t know about you but I thank the Lord each time. This is a lighter look at the whole thing.

*My mama said, “Cheer up, things could be worse* *So, I follow her advice and cheered up and sure enough, things got worse* *Sometimes it seems that nothing works out right* *You will have many bad days and sleepless nights* *But I have a friend who shares my cares and woes* *Each pain I know, I know he knows* *He is my savior, my friend and my source of joyfulness* *My master, the son of God, my spring of happiness* *For each tear I shed he sheds one, too* *When those trials come my way he guides me through* *For this reason I greet each day as nothing more than a test* *I deal with it as a chance to be strong and let God do the rest*
