There is morning, and there is evening

Jul 122007

There is morning and there is evening,
yet there is only time;
there is toil and there is rest,
yet there is only life
there is sorrow and there is happiness,
yet there is only beauty;
there is pain and there is laughter
yet there is only peace
there is body and there is spirit
yet there is only man
there is holding on and there is letting go
yet there is only lovewhat seasons come
and what seasons go
shall we take one and not the other
or shall we know both
and shall we know them true
to know that there is but one good
that makes up everything
God has created

Tell me now my friend, how many times have we deserted the more important things because we were not willing to embrace the crosses that comes along with our glory? How many times have we preferred to abandon life because of its sorrows, love because of its pains. It is no womder then that we often find ourselves left with nothing, without joy, without peace, and without the beauty that comes along with the pureness of our tears.

In the past I knew only what others had told me, but now I have seen you with my own eyes.- Job 42:5 TEV

Agnes { Dear Joyce, Hi! I have been an avid reader of your blog about a year an a half ago when I too have been experiencing heartbreak and burden in my life.

It is not a perfect relationship, we do have our shares of ups and downs but we come out of each as a better individual and we grow and learn together through those past mistakes.

He doesn't care whether we be in public places like malls, offices etc he just feels he needs to, in his own terms, "vent out his spleen". He had called me many things and often times says that i am stupid. He said i needed to reform, and that the only way was "his way". for the past year i have been doing all he asks of me, i am not allowed to talk to my friends, neither am... } – Jan 24, 9:16 AM
