What if.....

What if in the winters end the flowers decided life was too tough to continue and not come out in the spring?

What if the people who have glorious voices decided they were failures and couldn't sing?

What if the sun decided it was too hard to rotate around the earth and stopped and didn't rise for the day?

What if you got up and there was no longer anyone working at the local coffee shop you pass on your way?

Just as these things that by the hand of God appear before you each day, through their own struggles may seem to you as routine,

There are days they struggle, fight the pains, hide the tears just to make it through and these are never seen.

They do this because of the strength and courage they've found deep within their soul, for some reason they've chosen to fight,

They've may spent the better part of their days and you may not be able to know that just by sight.

But they continue to press on and forward to do what it takes to be who and what God has for them,

For just a a diamond that shines in the sun they too are such a sweet gem.

Anyone can do things that are easy and takes little to no effort to do,

But you'll never know the strength it takes through Christ they've accomplished just to be with you.

So enjoy them as you would the flowers that bloom in the springs morning dew,

Because you may just be one of the lucky ones without those struggles to have to go through.

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
