TO FERN'S HOMESTEAD!
Beloved......I've walked in the valley many times in the 5 years since I became ill and I'm sure you
have too! These two poems have blessed me so many times and I pray
that they will minister to you, right where you are at today. We
truly DO need to remember to be thankful for not only the mountain top experiences,
but those low valley experiences too! That is where we can really draw from
Abba's strength and feel His closeness. Blessings to you!!
THANK YOU FOR THE VALLEY
Thank you for the valley I walked through today.
The darker the valley, the more I learned to pray.
I found you where the lilies are, Blooming by the way,
And I thank you for the valley I walked through today.
Thank you for every hill I climbed.
For every time the sun didn't shine.
Thank you for every lonely night.
I prayed 'til I knew everything was all right.
Life can't be all sunshine. All the flowers would die.
The rivers would be deserts, all barren and dry.
Life can't be all blessings or, there'd be no need to pray.
So I thank you for the valley I walked through today.
Thank you for every hill I climbed.
For every time the sun didn't shine.
Thank you for every lonely night.
I prayed 'til I knew everything was all right.
Thank you for the valley, I walked through today.

IT'S IN THE VALLEYS I GROW
Sometimes life seems hard to bear,
Full of sorrow, trouble and woe
It's then I have to remember
That it's in the valleys I grow.
If I always stayed on the mountain top
And never experienced pain,
I would never appreciate Adonai's love
And would be living in vain.
I have so much to learn
And my growth is very slow,
Sometimes I need the mountain tops,
But it's in the valleys I grow.
I do not always understand
Why things happen as they do,
But I am very sure of one thing.
HaShem will see me through.
My little valleys are nothing
When I picture Yeshua on the cross
He went through the valley of death;
His victory was Satan's loss.
Forgive me L-rd, for complaining
When I'm feeling so very low.
Just give me a gentle reminder
That it's in the valleys I grow.
Continue to strengthen me, Father
And use my life each day
To share your love with others
And help them find their way.
Thank you for valleys, L-rd
For this one thing I know
The mountain tops are glorious
But it's in the valleys I grow!
