For us parents, we have somehow gotten used to it already.  No one can be spared from it and that includes our Sons and Daughters.... no exceptions.  Life is supposed to be difficult but All of us should be thankful for it... Why??? It is only by experiencing series of difficulties one after another that eventually transform us into a stronger and better person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I've gone through a lot of difficult times.  Many times, I thought that I won't be able to overcome it.  But looking back at it, I have survived them all through perseverance and faith in God.  It is  also God's way of bringing us more closer to Him.  It is in difficult times that we begin to realize that We need God.  As the saying goes, " &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;You will never know that God is all you should have until you realize that God is all you got&lt;/span&gt;."  When you reach that point,  it is only then that you'll begin to appreciate the title of this poem - "Difficult times Don't Last Forever."  it may seem blurry for now, but it's tried and tested.  &lt;span&gt;God did not promise us a life without pains and  sufferings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; but He promised us that He will always be with us in the midst of  all our difficulties. In my own personal experience, HE always makes an opening to surpass my trials whenever I'm near the dead end.&lt;/span&gt;  And I believe that the same also applies to everyone. We just have to cling to that truth, give it a little more time and everything will be okay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1098934915129185317-1334024448040578745?l=parentswish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://parentswish.blogspot.com/feeds/1334024448040578745/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1098934915129185317&amp;postID=1334024448040578745' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1098934915129185317/posts/default/1334024448040578745'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1098934915129185317/posts/default/1334024448040578745'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://parentswish.blogspot.com/2008/12/difficult-times-dont-last-forever.html' title='Difficult Times Don&apos;t Last Forever'/><author><name>raynz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08865940773169307290</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fmUmrHpTssA/TPy86SlmShI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/zXrayHj4C7c/S220/RDZWHITEBACKGROUND%2B2XW.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fmUmrHpTssA/STkAChorcKI/AAAAAAAAADY/QztTKQqinKg/s72-c/harven.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098934915129185317.post-7061837437894762887</id><published>2008-11-27T16:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-27T17:46:42.802-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Never let Go of Hope'/><title type='text'>Never Let Go of Hope</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;by: Jancarl Camp&lt;/span&gt;i&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fmUmrHpTssA/SS9HKjXP8OI/AAAAAAAAADA/Tpd8nE0Ci58/s1600-h/hope2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 263px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fmUmrHpTssA/SS9HKjXP8OI/AAAAAAAAADA/Tpd8nE0Ci58/s400/hope2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273511935291158754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;                           Photo:                                                                      Courtesy of  Flickr:   Z-Rain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;"  &gt;O&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;ne day&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;you will see&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;that it all&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;has finally come together&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;What you have&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;always wished for&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;has finally come to be&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;You will look back&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;and laugh at what has passed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;and you will ask yourself&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;"How did I get through all of that?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Just&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;never let go of hope&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Just&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;never quit dreaming&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;never let love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;depart from your life&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My thoughts:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;     As Martin Luther King, Jr. says: “We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope”.  That should be the attitude if we want to achieve our goals and dreams in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;When faced with obstacles, successful people don’t just give up their dreams easily.  If things became too hard for them to bear, they avail of man’s inherent power to achieve their dreams….  The power I’m referring to is called HOPE…  Each of us has that already from the time we were born. Where there is hope, there’s perseverance.  Perseverance is the one of the key elements of success.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;PS&lt;/span&gt;.
