God Did Not Promise You This
Sat with family and friends at a funeral today.
And read these words in the little folder they have by where you sign in at the funeral home —
God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
Second half tomorrow. For now, those four lines are good reminders of some realities too many have missed…or been mislead into wishing for…or, worse, have been lulled into believing by some of us with good intentions….
