Welcome To
The Encouragement Well
The Pain
The Pain is cruel, the
nights are long;
bereft of God's love, without His song
I cannot take the thought of living
I steadfastly pray for His forgiving.
You see, I'm weak and
painful worn
I must remember to not be torn
My body, His temple, is woefully sore.
As His love reminds of all He bore.
I must convey this message of love
His life He gave as His precious dove;
For in His heart he instills a swell
He's blessed us with the Encouragement
Well!

**A
note from The Team**
Ever hear
the saying a penny for luck?
Around
the world there are fountains to throw
your penny in, to make a wish. Well our
well is here to draw from. So take time
today to draw some encouragement for
yourself, as you journey for a better way
of living with Chronic pain and Illness.
Those of
us who suffer on a daily basis constantly
fight to keep up the good fight. To walk
in victory and learn how to NOT allow our
pain to control our lives. This can be so
very hard at times. The pain is so bad
our bodies are screaming out with it.
After a while it affects our WHOLE
person. The "tude" begins to
sink, depression marches in like a
battalion of soldiers set for war, and
the outcome looks bleak, dark, and
lonely. Let me tell you today. You are
NOT alone.
Whether
you suffer from arthritis,cancer,chronic
fatigue syndrome,degenrative disk
disease,depression,diabetes,endometriosis,fibromyalgia,headaches,heart
disease,Insomnia,Lupus,Mental
Health,Multiple
Sclerosis,Pain,Sjogren'Syndrome,Thyroid
Disease,Urinary Incontinence. ~~To name a
"FEW" ~~ It makes no
difference. We all find ourselves,
wondering how to cope. Life is not the
same. You are NOT alone.
Grab a
cup of your favorite beverage find a
comfy position, and sit a spell, and draw
as much as you want from our
encouragement well.
Merry , Sparkplug, Sharon and Pat
