LIFE'S BITTER CUPS
by Lewis E. Thomas LIFE'S BITTER CUPS
Sometimes life is good, sometimes life is bad!
Sometimes it makes us happy and sometimes it make us sad!
Sometimes life lets us soar like an Eagle up high!
Sometimes life brings us crashing down and makes us cry!
Life is full of trouble and things beyond our control!
Life is a trial and a test of the soul!
I'm reminded of a young man at my local church as I write this rhyme!
He had gotten married, was blessed with three children and life was great and going fine!
One Sunday our Pastor called this couple to the front to honor them for their good deeds!
But just a few days later, life brought this poor husband to his knees!
His precious wife died from a stroke followed by complications unknown!
Now he has "three" young toddlers to raise all alone!
Lord, reach down from Heaven and gently hold this precious man up!
As he drinks from one of life's BITTER CUPS!
The reason we suffer in life goes back to Genesis and to Adam and Eve!
When the Serpent/Satan lied and deceived!
When life hits you hard and does you wrong!
"Lean on God" and He will give you a Victory Song!
