Smile when you want to cry...

Life can be hard, challenging at times...We all have those days when we burnt the roast, our puppy got hurt, our car broke down, a falt tire on a lonely road. Then there are those things that can really break our heart and can test our faith, an accident, losing a loved one, a divorce, an illness, etc...
Life is meant to teach us how to get through some of the chaos, and it can be hard. But I believe that if we remember to smile when we feel like crying we will be able to get through it. I know the Lord does not give us more than we can handle, He knows us and loves us. I know He wants for us to be happy, if we can find a way to continue to be happy during those difficult times it will be worth it.
I admit I am one who has done a lot of crying, and crying throughout my life...and during some of my lowest moments I was drawn to my knees in prayers to give me strength to get through it, that one day I would understand why I was meant to go through that, what I would learn from it. Sometimes it was really hard, other times I found it easy, sometimes that is just the way it is. Life...it's not always easy, but it is soooo worth it.
I love my life...most of the time, lol...

I love that. Very well said. I too have been called to my keens. Cryed a lot. But how blessed I am for these times when I have been able to call on my Father in Heaven. Thanks for that post!!
