The Mighty Redwood trees
Standing tall is the Redwood trees for the entire world to see. Their strength and beauty forever inspires me. Though thunderstorms hover above the skies, these mighty trees expand up unafraid of the thunder and storms coming by. Their branches span the skies searching for sun light it counts on to thrive. When the storms come it only shakes these trees’ branches monetarily. The Redwood trees would only lose a limb or two causing them to become stronger. We can learn so much from these mighty trees. Though seasons have come and gone, these mighty Redwoods have stood and witnessed the changes all around unbothered and firm standing in the mist of it all. I only pray God to give me strength like these mighty Redwood trees to enter each day with hope whether the skies are black or blue. Life on earth is a gift. We must count our blessing everyday and if so we shall see God’s hand at work for us. When you do this, you will start to realize that counting your blessing is one the most powerful acts you can do to change your life for good. It can magically change your whole world around. When you are grateful for things in your life no matter how small they may be, things have a way of inherently increasing. When you are grateful for the relationship you have even though it’s not perfect, the relationship miraculously improves. If you are grateful for the money you have even though it’s not much, the money will magically grow. If you are grateful for the job you have even though it’s not the dream job, your work environment will get better and greater opportunities will suddenly appear. If you are grateful for the health you have, you will find ways to be healthy and live longer. Be grateful and you will find hidden treasures of life and increase your prosperity. Like the mighty Redwood trees, you will increase and thrive through God’s grace and blessings.
When All Else Fails
When troubles are in the skies
When hardships arise
When times become unbearable
When stricken with pain and suffering
When there no end of the difficulty in sight
When everything looks gloomy
When finances diminish
When death claims a loved one
When life has no meaning
When all else has failed
Have faith in God
And remember our ancestors
In times like these have
done their best in worst times
And hoped for better times
in the most calamitous
They have survived
They have never given up
They have made it
How much more different
Are they better than us?
When these hard times come
Don't give up and don't give in
Persevere and muster up courage from within
Pray to Heavenly Father who knows
Our suffering and our life
And he will show us the way
to endure and hold fast.
Just like there is a light
at the end of a tunnel
you will survive and make it
through the long cold night
knowing this storm shall pass
and life will return but
this time with a little more calmness
since you have learned how to weather
through any storm on life shores.
