Replies to 'Depression'

I read your poem Wind and I too felt the same way you do and many times I wondered and ask Why Am I Still Here? I finally started praying to God to help me learn to see in me what He saw in me. I also prayed to learn to trust and believe in Him also. All these prayers helped me to see that God puts us all here to help each other. Lord knows we could all be so busy each and every day there is such a need for each and every one of us. So when we take the time to reach out and help someone else our problems become smaller on that day because we can get too busy to spend time thinking of our own problems. On any day no matter what we go through someone is going through something so much worse. It is the gift God showed me coming to this board. The cross I bear I thought was so heavy until I saw the weight of the cross of others. And also as my pastor says even when we are heavily laden with things how many blessings are we not giving honor to God. Things we let slip by without a Thank You to God each day. Our family..our health..that we see..we can walk..talk..speak..write poetry..think. On any given day something we are able to do is something another person wishes they were able to accomplish. So when we learn to focus on our HAVES and not our HAVE NOTS there is where we find that place of PEACE! I am glad you are there! Thanks for sharing your website. Hugs!
