This Can Be A Time Of Growth

Found at Lori's Garden of Inspiration

As difficult as this time in your life may be,
you will become stronger if you face each
day with patience and hope;
if you accept your weaknesses
but concentrate on your strengths;
if you love and care for yourself
even when you are angry and confused;
if you can look at doubt and fear but keep your
mind on the fact that the struggle is helping
you to grow in faith and confidence.

If you gently pick yourself up when you fall
and continue walking; if you keep thinking
about all the things you can do well,
all the things that bring you joy,
and all the people you love who also love you;
if you hold on to your goals even
though the way to reach them may be unclear,
then.....
You can see the troubling times almost as
friends who have come to help you grow further
then you thought you could;
friends who are showing you the way
to a more courageous heart;
friends who help you to see that you are more
powerful than you ever thought you were;
friends who help you to see that the hard times are
making you more open to accepting life as it comes,
and realizing that you have the inner strength
and loving nature to deal successfully
with any difficult moment.
