A long time ago a neighbor gave me this beautiful piece in a black frame. I was going through some very tough times and she put this message in my hands. There are times in everyone’s lives that no matter how much you think you have it together, you don’t. We all need encouragement from time to time. No man is an island unto himself and if you think you are, then you are missing out. If you look back in history even the greatest of heroes needed up-lifting words to keep them strong. We can’t forget to pray for and encourage our leaders; they are human too and they need encouragement perhaps more so than those of us under their leadership. I hope you read this and pass it on to someone you know who needs some cheering up.

 

I Am God.

Today I will be handling all of your problems.

Please remember that I do not need your help.

If life happens to deliver a situation to you

that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it.

Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box.

It will be addressed in MY time, not yours.

Once that matter is placed in the box, do not hold on to it.

If you find yourself stuck in traffic don’t despair,

there are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work;

think of the man who has been out of work for years.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad;

think of the person who has never known what it’s like

to love and to be loved.

Should you grieve the passing of another week end;

think of the woman in dire straits, working 12 hours a day,

7 days a week to feed her children.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance;

think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror;

think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering

what is life all about, asking what is my purpose;

Be thankful;

there are those who didn’t live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people’s bitterness,

ignorance, smallness and insecurities;

remember, things could be worse:

You could be them!
