My mom likes to e-mail me all these forwards, and every once and a while there is one that I really like. This one looks like she had printed out for me a long time ago and stuck it on my bulliten board. I had overlooked it, until now...
"Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of "Camp Complaining"
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem that time at hand
Start every day with worship
To "thank" is a command
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We'll run the race with gratitude
Xalting God most high
Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but
Zion waits in glory, where none are ever sad!"

oh my gosh! i absolutely love this!! i think i wanna print it out and put it on MY bulletin board! hehe. =]
haha I know!!! I reprinted it all pretty and put it right in the front :)
What a great poem. College education pays off, I learned that this is an Abecedarian poem! Whoa, fancy word for saying it is in alphabetical order, lol! Thanks for sharing that.
whoaa that's a big word there (not just fancy)!!! haha but yes, it is definately a great poem. It was surprisingly from one of those forward e-mails you would think about "trashing before reading" sort of a thing.
