IN THE DEAD OF WINTER we complained, “How very cold and blustery it is”, and soon during the height of SUMMER we will be heard to utter words like, “It is extremely hot, humid, and sweltering out here”...
BUT BETWEEN these two polar opposites reside the 365 days of the year...!!!
The SEASONS CHANGE, but OUR GOD REMAINS THE SAME...
THE LAST 50 or so days we have been asked to PRAY, FAST, and GIVE ALMS, but the next 50 or so days we will CELEBRATE THE TRUE MEANING OF EASTER...
SEASONS are a gift of God to us who are still mortal humans to GRADUALLY ADJUST, or as THE CHURCH HAS TAUGHT FOR MILLENIA: TO MODERATE...
THE MESSAGES OF CHRISTMAS AND EASTER ARE BOTH THE SAME: ‘GOD WITH US’...This is the message Jesus preached for 3 years, and still seeks to impart to all those who choose to FOLLOW HIM...HE IS NEAR TO EACH ONE OF US, AND NEVER LEAVES US...!!!
THE DECISION IS NOT either/or, whether to FISH OR CUT BAIT, but rather, both/and, to WALK AND CHEW GUM...Let us then HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND MODERATING OURSELVES IN ALL THINGS...!!!
