Unfortunately...life, love and family are disappointing. I'm sure we've all experienced that fact at sometime, and no one likes it when it happens. It leaves a bitter taste in your mouth,mind and heart, doesn't it?
There have been times that I said never again; only to realize, I too have fallen short of others expectations, love and friendship. The truth is no one is perfect and this life often disappoints all of us.
I guess that's why I'm so thankful for Jesus love, friendship and the gifts He gives. Without Him life would really be one big peach pit wouldn't it? It would for me.
Have a great day and be thankful for what you do have. Complaining about the short comings in life probably will not help unless it's practical advice for your disappointer. If life is the pits right now collect your peach pit memories on paper and then shred the paper with your own hands. If you're still not happy use it as confetti, preferable outside!

(She's the dark headed one, looking like, "What have I agreed to do with this crazy sister of mine?" When we were kids I drug her out in all kinds of weather to do all sorts of "great things," for example: sliding down huge hills, swinging across a creek with only tennis shoes on, or riding 20 miles on our bikes just to get an ice cream cone. Her famous words still are,"Why do I let you talk me into these things?" )
Unfortunately, there wasn't much water and obviously we are no longer feather weights. She and my mother were afraid of snakes, which I rarely see at Hurricane Shoals. They both felt they were, "too old to do this kind of thing." I will never get too old to do the things I love.Where there is a will, there is always a way!
" 22Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." Romans 8:22-28 (NIV)
