Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe. Philippians 3:1
When I set out on a morning to write to you of rejoicing, it comes to mind that at this time of the year it is a struggle to rejoice always in the Lord. It isn't the Lord's fault of course and I hesitate to blame myself for it, but it is there in February. Winter has been going on for a while now, and it has not been particularly bad this year except for a brief ten days or so back in January. However, we have experienced a lot of cloudy weather this year and that begins to wear on a person at this time of the season. So, maybe you and I can rejoice in a bit of co-suffering, and together we can wait on the springtime of joy to come in the person of our Lord Jesus.
The most difficult waiting comes just before the thing happens!
