a great poem

The Joyful Things

by Joyce Mary Ecochard

At times I'm so discouraged

With problems of the day,

I fail to see the joyful things

That are along the way.

When troubles overwhelm me,

It's then my nerves may fray,

That's when I need to take the time

To simply sit and pray.

Reflecting on God's many gifts

Does make me so aware

Of all the joy in little things

Around me, everywhere!

I must try to remember

Though problems come my way,

Not to miss the joyful things

And the beauty of the day!

This is such a beautiful poem. I thank the author for writing down the feelings that we all have. Infertility treatments, loss, and adoption planning can simply take so much time out of our lives that we may fail to see that life exists outside our own

self-made bubble. Take a moment and celebrate the beautiful world around you. Today will never happen again.
