   Very thought provoking. After pondering it for a time…. Decided that all of us must walk lost through the darkness of doubt from time to time to see the light of understanding and reason. Then, and only then, can we grasp the knowledge that our struggles are not without purpose and that our works are rewarding. That we do matter. We do have a purpose. Most of all (to me) is understanding that nothing worthwhile comes without difficultly. Peace be with you my friend.

     Chris,

     as always its such a pleasure hearing from you. everyone struggles from time to time with feelings of do we matter, what is our purpose etc. but some stop and simply give up. i say keep going.

     I have to tell you, I found this poem written down in the back of my “to do” notebook. I have absolutely no recollection of writing it. none. I dont remember what I was feeling, why I wrote it, nor the circumstances surrounding it. I “found” it last week and put it in powerpoint and saved it as you see it here. The only thing I do know for sure, is that i wrote it on 8/15/2011…. the day before my Dad’s birthday. Missing him as I do, maybe it was something from that…. I don’t know, I simply don’t know but felt the need to share it after finding it.

     I’m just thankful for honest to goodness friends, like you, during those times of difficulties. Thank you Chris!! You’ve always been a huge blessing to me.

     Thanks Angie. Its simply done in Power Point and then saved as a jpg. 🙂 i’d be almost dangerous if I had a mac and the ease of the way to design things there. maybe one day.

     As I said above, I have no memory of writing this at all…when I found it, i tried to remember – but the memory escapes me.

     I pray it gives you a sense of peace to realize that you are not alone when the solutions escape you and things just don’t make sense.
