It is so easy to stray, when people make me angry. I know the right path to take, the Christian way, but sometimes it's easier to be angry than to let it go. The anger turns to bitterness. What better day than Christmas to forgive.
BROKEN ROADS I’ve traveled down those broken roads Wondering which way to go I reached up to take your hand Knowing what was so. The turns I’ve taken in my life Full of anger, full of strife I’m learning now to hang on to The very thoughts of loving You. I’ve often wondered what you think When at times I’m on the brink, Of going down that road again The one that seems to have no end. I hold on to thoughts of you Telling me you love me too. I’m wondering why that seems to be That you could love even me. I know at times you’ve asked me why, You’ve held my hand, you’ve seen me cry. I need to carry in my heart My love from you and not depart. I promise on this day, I do I’ll always be there loving you. I hope to follow in the way Where You want me on this day. You planned my life Don’t let me stray. I love you Lord I’ll try to be The person that You see in me. Written by Kathryn Neff Perry ©Copyright 2008 All Rights Reserved.

Good reading and makes me think of you more than ever. You have good things in your life and I know you appreciate them as many don't. I try to be like you but can never compare to you. Many days I am so wrought out and am not a very good kind person to myself even. You give me strength, courage, love, and kindless to go on with life and to appreciate what I do have in life too.

Hi Kathryn,

Very inspiring and timely. Nicely written too! Thanks so much for this, and trust the Hand of God that holds you through many broken and winding roads, for He promised never to leave you nor forsake you.
Merry Christmas!!!
