Our family received a beautiful anonymous letter for Valentine’s Day. Of course, being the insatiably curious person that I am, I had to investigate the matter and did eventually identify the unnamed benefactor! Nevertheless, the letter contained a short poem that has been etched in my mind for the past couple weeks. With a little bit of searching, I discovered that the words are actually from a lesser-known hymn. I hope that this encourages your heart as it has mine!
God has not promised skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God has not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain;
But God has promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.
Faith Grubb says
Beautiful Song! Looking forward to meeting you.
