Me: I like your picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prodigal: They are some friends of mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: I want to share too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is written by Helen Steiner Rice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we feel we have nothing to give,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we are sure that the song has ended,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When our day seems over and the shadows fall,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the darkness of night has descended,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where can we go to find the strength<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to valiantly keep on trying?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where can we find the hand that will dry<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the tears that the heart is crying?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s but one place to go and that is to God,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, dropping all pretense and pride,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can pour out our problems without restraint,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, gain strength with Him at our side<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And together we stand at life’s crossroads,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And view what we think is the end,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But God has a much bigger vision<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And he tells us it’s only a bend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the road goes on and is smoother,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the pause in the song is a rest,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the part that’s unsung and unfinished<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the sweetest and richest and best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So rest and relax and grow stronger,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let go and let God share your load,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your work is not finished or ended,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ve just come to a bend in the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proverbs 5:9<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel one;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jennifer Van Allen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
