I just got this in an email from a family member that doesn't know our situation, or that I am even expecting, at this point. I just find it amazing how God can give us these little hugs when we least expect it.<P>"In The Valleys I Grow"<P>Sometimes life seems hard to bear, Full of sorrow, trouble, and woe<BR>It's then I have to remember that it's in the valleys I grow.<BR>If I always stayed on the mountain top, and never experienced pain,<BR>I would never appreciate God's love, and would be living in vain.<P>I have so much to learn, and my growth is very slow,<BR>Sometimes I need the mountain tops, but it's in the valleys I grow.<P>I do not always understand why things happen as they do,<BR>But I am very sure of one thing. My Lord will see me through.<P>My little valleys are nothing, when I picture Christ on the cross,<BR>He went through the valley of death; His victory was Satan's loss.<P>Forgive me Lord, for complaining, when I'm feeling so very low.<BR>Just give me a gentle reminder, that it's in the valleys I grow.<P>Continue to strenthen me, Lord, and use my life each day,<BR>To share your love with others, and help them find their way.<P>Thank you for valleys, Lord, for this one thing I know,<BR>The mountain tops are glorious, But it's in the valleys I grow!<P>The author was not listed on this email, but it was forwarded to me, so I felt compelled to retype it on this post. It lifted me, even though I wasn't feeling that low. I hope it helps some of you that are feeling low at this point, and if you want to copy it to send to someone else, I don't see a problem with that. God bless.<P>Tigger
