Life sometimes serves us 'cups of pain', however. I have to admit that last week, I felt a range of emotions from what I was served.
Just as I started to feel really out of sorts, I got a dose of perspective. I have friends that are dealing with REALLY big problems. Any issues I felt I had were like a few grains of sand compared to their mountains.
I don't understand why good people have to suffer or why someone has to watch their child get blood transfusions and chemo.
I am reminded though that the sun shines and the rain falls on good and bad people alike. (Matthew 5:45)
Pain can settle into our minds and souls to make things seem dark and hopeless.
My hope is in the Lord.

My hope too is in the Lord. I too wonder why one suffers and one doesn't, but that is the will of God and his sovereignity though it might not make sense to us at all.
I hope the day is a good one!

My hope is in the Lord too.
Thank you. May God bless your journey. :) Cathryn
Praying for you, be blessed.

I'm sorry you have been having a rough time, but your perspective is so very right!
He is always there ... hope things get better for you, Parsley, no matter how small the 'grain'.
Have a lovely week ~

Since coming back from my road trip, I have definitely stepped back and taken stock in my priorities. Talk about perspective, indeed. And I, too, trust in the Lord.
Parsley know my prayers are with you and your friends. It is hard watching a child struggle through an illness. But we know God is always near and ever present! He will never leave nor forsake us.
Hugs.
Each of us experiences some pain and loss in this life - perhaps to make the happy moments happier... but life throws a lot of good and bad at each of us... so we have to remember that when talk to others.
Hugs you again - thanks for being there - for me.
