"Bad Things Happen to Good People All the Time"

Thu, 11/13/2014 - 09:38 -- deemcb

Bad things happen to good people all the time.

Things like losing your money, every last dime.

Your dog runs away,

You have a bad hair day,

 

You lose your cellphone,

It rains as you walk home,

"There is no way this day could get any worse,"

Then you get kicked in the gut by a horse,

 

Your bones are broke,

In a puddle, your socks sit and soak,

When everyone gets a slice of pizza and you get none,

You reach up to the heavens and scream, "What have I done!"

God gives you a trial to test your faith.

Almost all bad things will lead to a better place.
