Well, it is that time of the season again. Time to go, time to say good-bye and time to reflect. It was a long yet short summer. I kind of think Charles Dickens put it best in "The Tale of Two Cities",
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. "
I also know for sure that I trust God to get me through hard things as well. I know that like Phillipians 4:13 " I am able to do all things through Christ who gives me strength." I have to remember that although I am more self-reliant, it is God who gives me the strength. That is a lesson i am learning everyday.
As I look at the huge mountains that surround me I see the parallel of life. We are constantly climbing mountains and dipping into valleys. It is part of our journey.
