N othing is future nor past to God
O nly the present is His Glory
W hen is a question for man alone
N ot until we are beneath the sod
O ur souls are stained,we are so sorry
T he time has run out to fret and moan
L est we are Saints when we get the nod
A nd our sins don`t, engulf the lorry
T hen we are free to paradise roam
E ternity, through no strife to plod
R emembering all your life story

Y ou`ll hit your knees,on a bed of stone.

This is a lesson indeed
you did a great write on this one. And you are right. too many wait till it too late to ask for help.Before my dad pass away last year, I was just gotten married to my third husband and he has to really do some promiseing and ground rules for my heart. I been thur two marriage that was abusing. I told myself I would never get married again. The last marriage lasted 32 years * Second % for 32 years I ask god when would he let me see the light to leaving him. Well kids came and grandkids and my parent and my grandparent and taking care of his family. I felt god didnt want me to leave. God was showing me the good and bad. The second one did not like fat and sruff like that on his meat. and he could be standing by the sink and still ask me to get up and fix him a drink. if I didnt he slap me clear accross the room or throw something at me and bust my head open of my lips. After 32 yrs. god show me the different. all the kids were gone and married. they beg me to leave. I told them I promise god I would stay till he told me to leave. One day he been drinking heavy but more so that day. I didnt hear him because when he beat me he broke my hearing aids.So I did not hear. when He came after me screaming I turn and I saw danger in a code red. I realize if I didnt protected myself I would be dead today. he hit me so hard I bounce off the walls and fell to the floor. the danger of death was still in his eyes even if he didnt know it. he wouldnt remember anything till he slept it off and saw what he did. I beg for him to get help. he would tell me I will help me. That eday of the beating. I kick and hit and everything to get away.
I guess I kick him in the right place because he got up and look at me. He left and I pray and pray for god to tell me when.. All of a sudden when I ask him to give me a sign when I could go. the front door open up and ir stay open.The light was shinning thru the door. I call my son, because I going blind. Just got 3 percent left. Anyway he came and got me. Now 8 years later For three years I live on my own. But it was lonely. I couldnt go out at night without someone guideing me. I could only do limited thing in the day time because I couldnt drive. I live in a little town that I could walk to the grocery store, doctor and the police station was across the street. My daddy told them to keep an eye on me. to not let my ex come around. I ask god to help me find someone who would like company,he gave me my husband and he was a mason like my dad. My whole family was tickle to death when he ask my dad for my hand in marriage. That when he ask me to marry him. Five years now and on his birthday also, lolss, God has his reason for telling you thing, but my daddy read the bible everyday and pray for me a good husband. My steve is the best.I never knew what a peaceful marriage can be, I love it. A valuable lesson to learn. I do not know what I would of done if God wasnt in my life.
