It's in the Valleys I grow

[Guest guest]

I know we're having our sorrow's when it comes to the MSA. It's not a road

any of us wanted to walk, those suffering with it and the caregiver's

watching and knowning that's there is only so much we can do. The one thing

that keeps me going is this group and the love of God. Oh! someday's it's not

so easy, and other day's are just awful. I know there are alot of questions

why? Someday we will have our answer, but until then I just have to keep the

faith and look for the bright side. That isn't alway easy , but I try. One

day I came across this poem " It's in the Valley I grow " when I was feeling

very sorry for myself. It helped me then and it has many times since. I

think it was a gift from God when I needed to understand. His always seem to

be there when I need it the most.

IT'S IN THE VALLEYS I GROW

Sometimes life seems hard to bear,

Full of sorrow, trouble and woe

It's then I have to rememberr

That it's in the valleys I grow.

If I always stayed on the mountain top

And never experienced pain,

I would never appreciated God's love

And would be living in vain.

I have so much to learn

And my growth is very slow,

sometimes I need the mountain tops,

But it's in the valley I grow.

I don not always understand

Why things happen as they do,

But I am ver sure of one thing.

My Lord will see me through.

My little valleys are nothing

When I [icture Christ on the cross

He went through the valley of death;

His victory was Satan's loss.

Forgive me Lord, for complaining

When I'm feeling so very low.

Just give me a gentle reminder

That it's in the valleys I grow.

Continue to strengthen me, Lord

And use my life each day

To share your love with other's

and help them find their way.

Thank you for valleys, Lord

For this one thing I know

The mountain tops are glorious

But it's in the valley I grow!
