Forget Me Nots ~ Steppingstone Poem

Steppingstones

Think not that life has been unfair
and given you too much to bear.
For God has chosen you because
With all your weaknesses and flaws,
He feels that you are worthy of
The greatness of His wondrous love.
Welcome every stumbling block
and every thorn and jagged rock. 
For each one is a steppingstone
To a fuller life than we’ve ever known
and in the radiance of God’s smiles
We learn to soar about life’s trials
And as we grow in strength and grace
The clearer we can see God’s face.
Helen Steiner Rice

Isn't that a wonderful poem?  A good reminder that God has not forgotten us.  I added this poem to a beautiful page of Forget-Me-Nots for you.  



Here is the graphic in it's original form, copied from a book of poetry from the 1800's.
