of beds of roses and time

life can certainly be likened to a bed of roses. sometimes.
everything goes smoothly for you, without troubles and hiccups.
and naturally but unfortunately, it is impossible for anyone to simply stay in that state of ethereal ecstasy.

Forrest said, "life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you get."
indeed, life is supposed to be filled with unknowns and unexpected events. things that come along may not always work to your advantage or liking, but that's life. its supposed to be filled with ups and downs.

recently, i had a friend who had the most unfortunate thing happening to him. it was tragic, and i was barely able to cheer him. but he's fine already and for that i'm thankful to God. My prayers shall stay with him for the next week. i hardly pray nowadays, so i figured this is a jolly time to start again.

life's like a box of chocolate, you never know what you get. but, if you trust the person who brought you that box of chocolate, then you'll be in for a pleasant surprise.
God breathed life into man. He brought me my box of chocolates. I'm pretty sure He brought me my favorite chocolates (that would be caramel-flavored and dark chocs).
Be encouraged all who are weary and heavy-laden. He's got tonnes of your fav chocs. ;)
