"If all of life was sunshine
and we never had any rain.
If all of life was pleasure
and we never felt any pain.
If our paths were always clear
and no obstacles in the way.
If we never had to press
to make it through the day.
or sorrow pierce our hearts.
If we never experienced grief
or had a loved one to depart.
If sickness never came
and friends were never few.
If we had all the answers
and knew just what to do.
Then we wouldn't call on God
or go to Him in prayer.
And we wouldn't know His power
or ever feel His loving care."
~Lenora McWhorter
I am thankful for today's sunshine, after all the rain we had lately. I am thankful you too, and the visits you make here.

Judy I just loved that poem. So true that without the rough roads we would likely not rely on God, or seek His face.....
Hugs!!
Poem is well said! We indeed need the rain but today I am incredibly thankful for the sun!
At last sunshine here too.
What a welcome relief!
There is so much truth and wisdom to be found in that poem.
I am always thankful to have the opportunity to visit with you here on your blog, Judy.
Enjoy your sunny day.
And I am thankful for you too Judy and the wise and wonderful posts that I read on your blog.
Loved the poem, and soo true! Enjoy your week!
What a great poem! Thank-you for sharing. We love the sunshine...but we need the rain too.
Sometimes it takes sleepless nights to know God is near. (Laura Story's song .. do you know that one?)
Anneliese,
No, I never heard Laura Story's song. I will find it and listen to it.
