For June 8th:

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:…” Ecclesiatstes 3:1

After The Winter God Sends The Spring

“Springtime is a season of Hope and Joy and Cheer,

There's beauty all around us to see and touch and hear.....

So, no matter how downhearted and discouraged we may be,

New Hope is born when we behold leaves budding on a tree

Or when we see a timid flower push through the frozen sod

And open wide in glad surprise its petalled eyes to God.....

For this is just God saying---"Lift up your eyes to Me,

and the bleakness of your spirit, like the budding springtime tree

will lose its wintry darkness and your heavy heart will sing"

For God never sends The Winter without the Joy of Spring.”

Helen Steiner Rice

 I just love this and think it applies to the seasons of our lives and not just the seasons in nature. I could summarize by saying;  even though we may have difficult or bleak times in our lives, God promises us brighter & more joyous days ahead.
