Despite what may be confusing, disappointing, disheartening, or frustrating, life always has beauty!
After rolling the trash can out last week for trash pickup, I embraced the fresh air and warm sun and thought, "It's a beautiful life," and this poem unfolded:
Despite _______ (fill in the blank)
It's a beautiful life.
No matter the situation
The pain or degradation
God always gives us a warm invitation
To connect with Him for revelation
For motivation
For appreciation
For consecration
For love
For peace
For a spiritual retreat
For hope
For healing
For a renewed feeling
And to be reminded that...
Despite _______
It's a beautiful life.
Air in our lungs
To live on this Earth
Family and friends
Filled with worth
Sending love our way
No matter the day
Encouraging words to say
In work and play
Giving support when in need
Always planting kind and uplifting seeds
Despite _______
It's a beautiful life.
Despite the slope
Despite the pain
God will carry us through
In Christ's Mighty Name
Despite _______
It's a beautiful life.
Despite the gap
Despite the hole
God is always with us
Guiding our hearts and souls
Despite _______
It's a beautiful life.
Despite the lack
Despite the gain
Let's keep pressing on
And continue dancing and praising in the 'rain'
Because...
Despite _______
It's a beautiful and blessed life!
Amen
