There is nothing you have been through my 88 years has not taught me how to handle. I have been dirt poor and quite wealthy. I know what it is like to be lied on, spit at, beaten, battered and bruised and none of it was ever able to bitter me. I know the REAL secret to life is:
BUTTER
Hahahahahaha! And I have a great sense of humor.
Despite all the challenges I have faced and the times I wanted to end it all thinking nothing was ever going to work out for me I never stopped striving always managing to find the strength to keep going. And yes, there were some times I had to do it without knowing Jesus was with me. Because I too walked away from Him for a while, so hurt by the losses, I suffered; seeing my son’s discombobulated body swing from a branch.
There was no pain greater than the loss of a child but even that was turned for my good and that was when I learned to take life’s lemons and turn them into the sweetest lemonade.
