My Friend, never judge life by one difficult season. Keep Your Focus on God. Endure. Stay Steadfast. God has great plans for your life. Plans to prosper you and not harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future (Jer. 29:11).
Let’s Pray: God I ask in Jesus' name, that I don't give up in my winter season. Help me, make me fight the good fight of faith so that I may witness the promise of spring, beauty of summer, and the fulfillment of all. Help me to endure, stay steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. Encourage me to continue on to the end so that I will fulfill the plans that You Lord Jesus have for my life. Though it all help me keep my attitude right. Let my attitude be a refection of You Living in my life. Let me exemplify an attitude of praise, peace, faith, hope, love, joy, strength, and victory. And my Lord please do the same for all my family, friends, and the writer of this prayer. Help us all to endure until the end. Let this be our song, "We fought a good fight, we kept the faith, and we finish our course." Amen, So Be It, And It Is So!!!

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to
judge Things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, In turn, to go
and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in
summer and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and
come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The
first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son
said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son
disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and
looked so beautiful, it was the most Graceful thing he had ever seen.
The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping
with fruit, full of life and fulfillment. The man then explained to his sons
that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season
in the tree's life.
He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a Person, by only one
season; and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and
love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all
the seasons are up.
If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the Promise of your spring,
the beauty of your summer and the fulfillment of your fall. Don't let the
pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don't judge life by one
difficult season. Endure. Stay Steadfast. Continue On to the end and
fulfill the plans God has for your life.
