Difficult Times in Life Can Help Us Grow

I found this poem on a website. I think it describes the times that we all face -- sometimes often, sometomes occasionally. But it spoke to me.

TRY TO REMEMBER THE GOOD THINGS
by Sherrie L. Householder
When times become difficult
(and you know they sometimes will),
remember a moment in your life
that was filled with joy and happiness.
Remember how it made you feel,
and you will have the strength you need
to get through and trial.

When life throws you one more obstacle
than you think you can handle,
remember something you achieved
through perseverance and by struggling to the end.
In doing so, you'll find you have the ability to overcome
each obstacle brought your way.

When you find yourself drained and depleted of energy,
remember to find a place of sanctuary and rest.
Take the necessary time in your own life
to dream your dreams and renew your energy,
so you'll be ready to face each new day.

When you feel tension building,
find something fun to do.
You'll find that the stress you feel will dissipate
and your thoughts will become clearer

When you're faced with so many negative
and draining situations, realize how minuscle problems will seem
when you view your life as a whole -- and remember the positive things.

With God's unlimited grace,
we can get past the bad times and find Him again.
