The Monument
God,
Before He sent His children to earth
Gave each of them
A very carefully selected package
of problems.
These,
He promised, smiling,
Are yours alone. No one
else may have the blessings
These problems will bring you.
And only you
Have the special talents and abilities
That will be needed
To make these problems
Your servants.
Now go down to your birth
And to your forgetfulness. Know that
I love you beyond measure.
These problems that I give you
Are a symbol of that love.
The monument you make of your life
With the help of your problems
Will be a symbol of your
Love for me,
Your Father.
--Blaine M. Yorgason
This poem says it all. Once we come to understand our problems, we realize they are not merely problems, but blessings. They make us stronger. They make us better individuals. I challenge you to ponder your trials and challenges that you've had and think of the blessings that came with them. Then write them down, and you'll see how much you have to be grateful for. In the end, you will know how to stay STRONG in the STORMS of Life.
