Thought for the Weekend



It's In The Valley I Grow

  Sometimes life seems hard to bear,
  Full of sorrow, trouble and woe
  It's then I have to remember
  That it's in the valleys I grow.

  If I always stayed on the mountain top
  And never experienced pain,
  I would never appreciate 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 valleys I grow.

I do not always understand
Why things happen as they do,
But I am very sure of one thing.
My Lord will see me through.

Forgive me Lord, for complaining
When I'm feeling so very low.
And 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 others
 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 valleys I grow!

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
   I will fear no evil, for You are with me,
          Your rod and staff, they comfort me.
-Psalm 23:4
