It'll Pass

This world is temporary.  It won’t last. 

Our life, in this world, is fleeting.  It’s not forever.  

The world and, our lives are always changing.   

One of the few sure things in our life is that situations will change 

and sometimes fast.  

The circumstances that you find yourself in at this moment 

in a matter of minutes can change drastically.  

The problem is that when we are in the middle of something 

unsettling, rough, or distasteful we only see what we don’t like or enjoy.  

We lose our perspective.  

We begin to feel as though this test will last forever.  

We grow weary of the situation, but if we hang on it’ll change.  

It’s not forever.  

Are you tired of school?  

It’ll pass.  

Maybe, today, you are a mother tired of changing diapers and cleaning up messes. 

Don’t lose hope.  One day, all those messes and diapers will be a distant memory.  

Are you tired of your job?  

One day, even your work will be in the past, and you may find it was not the pit you thought it was.  

Perhaps you are caring for a loved one and feeling stressed and tired because the days are long.  

Don’t stress; the day will come when you will no longer need to do these tasks, and you may wish for one more chance to take them shopping or cook a meal for them.  

Be content with where God has put you.  

You can make it a pleasant memory or a nightmare.  

Either way, it will pass, and if you hold on tight, 

you’ll have sweet memories with no regrets.
