You know it isn't easy to wake up everyday and do things normal people do. It is not easy to smile. It basically isn't easy to live. But, you have to.
Life is not all roses and rainbows. Unfortunately, it is filled with briars and hurricanes. Lets be honest. Life can be going so great and then, a curveball hits you from out of nowhere. It can be so overwhelming.
Life is not meant to always be easy. There are days that you just want to give up but, you realize who is watching.
Sometimes it seems that life constantly knocks you down and all you really want is what you call a break. I sometimes want to remind God that no, I am not as strong as you make me out to be. I cannot take anything else bad. I absolutely cannot. If I have to overcome one more obstacle, I am done.
But, you go on. Because life does. But, that does not mean you do not have the guilt that is associated with living. I mean why should we still get to live when our children can't. Why should I be happy that your child has a birthday when one of mine is forever 15. Why should I be happy when your child achieves something great because mine cannot. But you know why I celebrate those other birthdays and accomplishments, Lezlie would want me too. She would be so mad if I just sat and cried and groveled. She would be shaking her head thinking how silly I am for acting like, well, a child.
I can name countless times I wanted to give up. I can also know countless times I did not.
Yes, life is hard but life can be easy. Life can be happy. Life can be roses and rainbows, you just have to remember every now and then it may get briar or hurricane tough, but you can do it. I know I can and I know that my faith is helping me but, so is my Lezlie.
Just live. I promise you that when you get to the end of your ability to live, Heaven is waiting. I know my Lezlie is too.
Joel 2:25 "Go can restore what is broken and change it into something amazing. All you need is faith."
