When I was young I was always saying, "I wish I had this" or "I wish I had that" and Mama would always say, "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. And if turnips were watches, we would wear one on each side." I would say, "Mama, do you have to say that every time I want something." She would just smile.
Sometimes I would ask, "Why do we have so much trouble?" She would say, "I'd rather have trouble in this world than in the next world." I feel the same way that she did.
***
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, all fear is gone.
Because I know He holds my future,
and life is worth the living,
just because He lives!
