Being strong

I sometimes think life just really sucks sometimes but I realized the other day that life isn't that bad.
I truly believe God gives us only what he thinks we can handle. 12 years ago he made me a stronger person by giving no more than he felt I could have handled. I may have lost my way with God. I was very angry at him. In fact, I thought I was being punished. As I look back on those days that seem so black God was right there with me. He was guiding me to be stronger.
I am thankful for my family, good health, friends, and support. I read some truly sad stories about families that have lost or losing their child or children, unborn baby or babies. Some are born sick and others get sick. These stories leave me speechless. These parents strength and beliefs amaze me. I just want others to know how much I admire them for their strength.
