"A BEND IN THE ROAD"

Hi folks, this is Two Texas PawPaw, and this morning I want to talk about my youngest grand daughter. Now theres a real Princess if I ever saw one. About a year ago, she went through a divorce. In some spots it was rather smooth, but in other spots, it was sort of nasty at times. But, when you're trying to raise a two year old alone, its never easy. I ran across this poem written by Helen Stiener Rice, and I'm sorry I didn't write it because I thought it was beautiful. But because of her situation and struggles, maybe it will give her something to think about. I thought it fit her to a "T". It goes like this:-----WHEN WE FEEL WE HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE, AND WE ARE SURE THAT THE SONG HAS ENDED---WHEN OUR DAY SEEMS OVER AND THE SHADOWS FALL, AND THE DARKNESS OF NIGHT HAS DESCENDED---WHERE CAN WE GO TO FIND THE STRENGTH TO VALIANTLY KEEP ON TRYING---WHERE CAN WE FIND THE HAND THAT WILL DRY THE TEARS THAT THE HEART IS CRYING---THERE'S BUT ONE PLACE TO GO AND THAT IS TO GOD, AND DROPPING ALL PRETENSE AND PRIDE---WE CAN POUR OUT OUR PROBLEMS WITHOUT RESTRAINT AND GAIN STRENGTH WITH HIM AT OUR SIDE---AND TOGETHER WE STAND AT LIFE'S CROSSROAD, AND VIEW WHAT WE THINK IS THE END---BUT GOD HAS A MUCH BIGGER VISION, AND HE TELLS US IT'S ONLY A BEND---FOR THE ROAD GOES ON AND IS SMOOTHER, AND THE PAUSE IN THE SONG IS A REST---AND THE PART THATS UNSUNG AND UNFINISHED, IS THE SWEETEST, AND THE RICHEST, AND THE BEST---SO REST AND RELAX AND GROW STRONGER, LET GO AND LET GOD SHARE YOUR LOAD---YOUR WORK IS NOT FINISHED OR ENDED, YOU'VE JUST COME-TO A BEND- IN THE ROAD.-----Kendra, I hope this gives you a lift, and remember, you are loved by more people than you will ever know, God bless you and Pretty Little Miss Kayleigh Faith. This is Two Texas PawPaw signing off, and, the good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise, I'll be back tomorrow.
