"Carolyn's Place"In The Valleys

If there is not joy in religion,
you have got a leak in your religion.
**********
Your future depends on many things,
but mostly on you.

It's In The Valleys I Grow.
Sometimes life seems hard to bear,
Full of sorrow, trouble and woe.
It's then I have to remember
That it's in the valleys I grow.
*

If I always stayed on the mountain top
And never experienced pain,
I would never appreciate God's love
And would be living in vain.
*

I have so much to learn
And my growth is very slow,
Sometimes I need the mountain tops,
But, it's in the valleys I grow.
*

I do not always understand
Why things happen as they do,
But I am very sure of one thing.
My Lord will see me through.
*

My little valleys are nothing
When I picture Christ on the cross.
He went through the valley of death;
His victory was Satan's loss.
*

Forgive me Lord, for complaining
When I'm feeling so very low.
Just give me a gentle reminder
That it's in the valleys I grow.
*

Continue to strengthen me, Lord
And use my life each day
To share your love with others
And help them find their way.
*

Thank you for valleys, Lord
For this one thing I know,
The mountain tops are glorious
But, it's in the valleys I grow!
