       ~ Winter~

       In chatting to Kerry about the season that I feel I am going
       through right now..yet not quite understanding it...he wrote
       back wise words.
       It is human nature to want to feel upbeat and bouncy all the
       time...yet I so often forget the little words " times and
       seasons", I quote them lots, how could I then forget.
       When things feel all wrong to us, maybe they are not wrong but
       right!
       It can't be summer all the time. Everything would die if it was
       blue skies all the time.
       Winter wont last forever..
       Charles H. Spurgeon.  said...
       Thou hast made summer and winter.Ps 74:17
       "Winter in the soul is by no means a comfortable season, and if
       it be upon thee just now it will be very painful to thee: but
       there is this comfort, namely, that the Lord makes it.
       He sends the sharp blasts of adversity to nip the buds of
       expectation: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes over the
       once verdant meadows of our joy: he casteth forth his ice like
       morsels freezing the streams of our delight. He does it all, he
       is the great Winter King, and rules in the realms of frost, and
       therefore thou canst not murmur.
       Losses, crosses, heaviness, sickness, poverty, and a thousand
       other ills, are of the Lord’s sending, and come to us with
       wise design. Frosts kill noxious insects, and put a bound to
       raging diseases; they break up the clods, and sweeten the soil.
       O that such good results would always follow our winters of
       affliction!
       How we prize the fire just now! how pleasant is its cheerful
       glow! Let us in the same manner prize our Lord, who is the
       constant source of warmth and comfort in every time of trouble.
       Let us draw nigh to him, and in him find joy and peace in
       believing. Let us wrap ourselves in the warm garments of his
       promises, and go forth to labours which befit the season, for it
       were ill to be as the sluggard who will not plough by reason of
       the cold; for he shall beg in summer and have nothing.  "
       And I said ...AMEN!!!!✟

       Oh!
       I did not know or realize you were going through something.
       Glad that you now have a handle on it.
       James
