good times

Good times are a reminder and a reward for dealing with the difficult and challenging times we all go through. The trick is to celebrate the good times in advance of the difficult times. Always remember, good times await you after the difficult times pass .    James A. Murphy

When things are going well for you, be glad, and when trouble comes, just remember: God sends both happiness and trouble; you never know what is going to happen next. Ecclesiastes 7:14

bad times

“Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-4

tomorrow

If you are a tomorrow-thinker in a world of yesterday-dwellers, take heart. Realize that you must be true to yourself. Charles R. Swindoll

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31

rain

Rain is grace; rain is the sky descending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life. John Updike

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. Matthew 5: 44,45
