Wise words that are very biblical and poetic.
God bless you!

That is the key... having faith in God and belief in ourselves...

Reminds us to live for today, remember the past, and let tomorrow take care of itself.

Amen! You areon target with this fine poem Joyce! A key verse is

"For we must pick and choose our battles
knowing which we can win
casting the others away from our thoughts
picking up the pieces and starting over again"

That is wisdom!

Love,

Inspiring and guiding.
Continually the teacher and master at all you undertake. Another masterpiece. Liz

Wise and true words. If we believe in ourselves and the power of God ,We can accomplish many great things! Sometimes I think God tests our strengths and weaknees to make us become stonger and better people....M

...wonderful words of wisdom you have written Joyce...say much about faith and the inspiration to continue...on that highway...both hands on the wheel...though curves unknowingly surface around each bend...continuing...even when there may be fear of falling rocks.

We were never promised an "easy" life, and when we face that reality we become stronger. This is what Christ revealed to his deciples, and to us. Your faithful, inspiring words are proof of this revelation, Joyce:
"For we must pick and choose our battles
knowing which we can win
casting the others away from our thoughts
picking up the pieces and starting over again."

Wisdom in those words, friend!!
Blessings and Love ~~ Micke

Wise words, indeed!

Your words are powerful and filled

Life changes everyday your words captured

Brilliant morning view of thoughts of life!!

Joyce, you words ring with truth and honesty...we must persevere and believe in ourselves, having faith in God and give our life all we have and we will succeed. Many times in this life we could just give in to our trial & tribulations but through our faith in God, we will survive regardless of the obstacles we face. An excellent write!

... and just how testing that Test can be, Joyce. Sometimes it seems as if we've just dropped into an on-going nightmare that has blown up from nowhere, for no apparent reason and with no end in sight... but your words of wisdom here teach us to seek the balance one day at a time and to always approach each situation (even if a repeat!) as a fresh event. It pays to perhaps walk around the broken glass, rather than over it. Of course, clearing it up is even better... and not allowing the glass to become broken better still! But such is life. Thank you for sharing. Kate xx

Very beautiful writing sweet lady,take care OK...Hugss
