Praiseworthy

Autumn is near it's end and soon the gray days of the beginnings of winter will be upon us.  There is a sadness to the ending of a season, for gone are all the beautiful colours, the scents and sounds of life.  Winter can often hide life.

In one's life journey, the winter season can also appear to hide life, and yet in truth, in the winter of life, is where one does the most growing.  A learning to trust in the goodness of God despite circumstances and a remembering of all the blessings that have been given in the past.

Philippians 4:8   Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.

On this Thanksgiving Day, I will remember, and will choose to remember, even through the bleak days of my winter.
