Thought for the Day 8/1/2025

 Friday Tale - Some Day

Some day all doubt and mystery

         Will be made clear;

The threatening clouds that now we see

         Will disappear.

 

Some day what seems a punishment,

         Or loss or pain,

Will prove to be God's blessing, sent

         For very gain.

 

Some day our weary feet will rest

         In sweet content;

And we shall know that we were blest

         By what was sent.

 

And, looking back with clearer eyes

         O'er life's short span,

We'll see with wondering, glad surprise,

         God's perfect plan.

 

And, knowing that the way we went

         Was God's own way,

We'll recognize His wise intent,

         Some day, some day.

~ Unknown

Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;

whoever is discerning, let him know them;

for the ways of the Lord are right,

and the upright walk in them.

~ Hosea 14:9 (see also Psalm 107:43)
