Seasons....


People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. - Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

Pastor preached this morning about the seasons in life that seem the most difficult is summer and winter. In summer everything seems dry and no water can be found. In the winter things feel cold and one stays in or is distracted by the holidays. But if we learn that God is IN every season, we can walk in victory cause no matter comes our way, God WILL see us through and we will continue in our spiritual growth and walk with the Lord. His grace and mercy is suffient to see us through the strom in the winter and the dry place in the summer.
What a mighty but loving God we serve!!!!

We were talking about seasons on Saturday. In So Cal we have Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fire! But even the Fire season cleanses out old brush and enables new life.
