but will bear no fruit because there is no winter there."
John Bunyan

and under storms of affliction."

Some quotes from respected men of God of the past.
When we experience these hard trials and periods of
affliction, a winter in our soul, it is good for us to
remember that our fellow believers have and still do
endure the same,
if they are being sanctified by the Lord.
May you know the joy which comes in the morning,
in the Spring and let us praise and magnify the Lord.
"For whom the Lord lovest He chasteneth"
Hebrews 12:6
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life:
weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Psalm 30:5

Were you peeking in my window, dear Ruby? It's a bit of a hard winter here at the end of our actual physical summer. Psalm 19:14 is on repeat in my head: "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer."
