Quote of the Day

I've decided that once a week or so I'm going to post a "Quote of the Day". If i was more organized i would promise to post one every Monday, but seeing as I can't even post the gospel reflection on the right day half of the time, I'm not even going to pretend that I'm going to do this on a systematic basis...
But, anyway, I have always loved words. So many people have said so many great and powerful things about virtually everything. I believe these words should be heard.
So, without furthur ado. today's quote:

"He brought light out of darkness, not out of a lesser light, and he can bring thee summer out of winter, though thou hast no spring. Though in the ways of fortune, understanding, or conscience thou hast been benighted till now, wintered and frozen, clouded and eclipsed, damped and benumbed, smothered and stupefied, now God comes to thee, not as the dawning of the day, not as the bud of the spring, but as the sun at noon."

I feel this quote is strangely fitting for this week in particular due to physical literal representation we have seen in regards to weather patterns. Three days ago it was in the 40s and chilly .. the past three days have broken 90 degrees. We went from winter to spring.

Although the quote was not meant to be taken quite this litterally, i think it goes to show the power God has. If we allow Him he can take away all the pain, sorrows, fears, and insecurities (our "winters" if you will) and replace them with hopes, dreams, successes, and smiling faces.

While life will never be perfect, if we never lose sight of what is most important in life (faith, love, etc.), then we will most definately see better days.
