TROUBLE
by HELEN STEINER RICE GOD HELP US TO ACCEPT YOUR LOVE
THAT YOU OFFER US SO FREELY
AND MAKE US EVER THANKFUL
THAT YOU GIVE IT LAVISHLY
BUT MAKE US ALSO CONSCIOUS
THAT YOUR LOVE COMES IN MANY WAYS
AND NOT ALWAYS JUST AS HAPPINESS
AND BRIGHT AND SHINING DAYS
BUT OFTEN YOU SEND TROUBLE
AND WE FOOLISHLY REJECT IT
NOT REALIZING THAT IT IS YOUR WILL
AND WE SHOULD JOYOUSLY ACCEPT IT
AND IN TROUBLE AND IN GLADNESS
WE CAN ALWAYS HEAR YOUR VOICE
IF WE LISTEN IN THE SILENCE
AND FIND A REASON TO REJOICE. Have a nice Weekend. God bless you...Your friend, David
