No One Said It Would Be Easy

No One Said It Would Be Easy
Being a parent is tremendously trying,
With pleasant moments
Yet difficulty never ends
But no one said it would be easy.
Relationships with parents
Is often disconcerting
We do not stop being selfish (naturally)
But no one said it would be easy.
Situations and relationships
Develop - toward good times
Deteriorate - troubled times
But no one said it would be easy.
I love my children, but...
I love my spouse, but...
I love my parents, but...
No one said it would be easy.
Jesus was the son of God,
And son of man,
Persecuted, loved, gave his life,
But no one said it would be easy.
We give our lives to the Lord,
We pray for his help,
He does what is best for us,
But he never said it would be easy.
If it were easy everyone would be following
The Lord and his son, Jesus,
There would be no need for disciples or
witnessing
If it were going to be easy.
Original sin is not having complete faith in our
creator
Or complete faith in our parents,
Or complete faith in our children,
Or complete faith in our spouses,
Or complete faith in ourselves,
Which is why it is not easy.
