If We Could Bring You Back Again
If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day.
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you.
And that your presence in our lives,
Meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.

My Daddy
Your eyes I see no more
But my heart holds your smile.
I hear the angels’ fluttered wings,
And I know you’re here
With me for a while.
My arms cannot touch you,
But my reach is sent up above.
On your journey, Daddy, I’m sending
Along a daughter’s love.
I had to say good-bye to you
And that was so very sad,
For you were not only my father,
You were the best friend I ever had.
I’ll see you in my dreams.
That way I will never let you go.
And the tears that fall on my pillow
Are because I wanted you to know...
“Dad, did you ever know
You were my hero?”

Our Attitude Toward Hardships
Enduring hardships can often be overwhelming, and might even cause a person to won
der why such things happen to them. Only God knows why bad things happen to us,
and none of us are immune to such conditions. Some people seem to accept hard
ships better than others, and one can only wonder if perhaps they have been better
conditioned toward hardships, or if they simply have a stronger faith in God? Our
attitude toward difficulties and the way in which we confront them are extremely
important, and we should realize that we are never alone during these times. For it is
throughout hardships that we grow in faith and become a better person. Our Lord
told us that “He is with us always, and that He would never leave us or forsake us.”
In the midst of trouble, our Lord wants us to be mindful of His love for us and that our
being prayerful and positive are important. By accepting our crosses in this world,
we are reflecting our love for God, and understanding that this is necessary for the
ultimate goal of our salvation.
And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. New KJ.V. Matthew 10:38
