my friend .
going through some crazy type things . things that no young man should have to endure .
my heart
aches for him at times , wondering if the world's stones will be too much strain on his shoulders . i wonder what God's purpose is for all of his issues & adversity .
but, he smiles . through it all, he smiles . he could crawl into a corner for the rest of his life & have pity on himself , but he finds
joy in all of his situations .
joy and happiness are not the same thing (but thats a whole other topic) . i just know that he always says, "there are people out there who have it way worse than me. i pray and keep it pushin." instead of looking at his glass as half empty or half full, he decides that it doesnt matter at all. With time, his glass will be overflowing with blessings . his
joy inspires the
joy in me . a blessing with a mask on it .
