Freda's Garden:

Welcome to my Garden.

This is me talking about my mom after her memorial service May 1993
I need today's poem... taken from "Jesus Calling"

DO NOT LONG FOR THE ABSENCE OF PROBLEMS

Do not long for the absence of problems
For it is what helps you grow.
Do not long for the absence of problems
For God's wisdom, you would never know.

Do not long for absence of problems
For they help you understand.
Do not long for absence of problems
They help you be all you can.

Do not long for absence of problems
For they help you be patient with others.
Do not long for absence of problems
You can be of help to sisters and brothers.

Do not long for absence of problems
For it is then, on God you depend.
Do not long for absence of problems
For in the end, you shall win!
