When Things Didn’t Happen As You’d Thought… Poem by Dr John Celes

When things didn’t happen as you’d thought,
May be, the Almighty intends,
To do them in a different way,
And make you fitter for the job,
That you can’t handle anyway!

And make your mind and heart better,
And body physically well,
To take on assignments tougher,
And do them most successfully.

And give you nerves of steel-like strength,
And stamina to withstand stress,
And soul of grace to avoid sin,
And prepare yourself for heaven.

So, tune your heart, mind, body, soul,
And patiently expect all things,
For, when God does things in His way,
Nothing can go wrong any day!
