Be patient, therefore, beloved,
until the coming of the Lord.
The
farmer waits for
the precious crop from the earth,
being patient with it
until it receives
the early and the late rains.
You also must be patient.
You also must be patient.
Strengthen your hearts,
for the coming of the Lord is near.
Beloved, do not grumble against one another,
Beloved, do not grumble against one another,
so that you may not be judged.
See, the Judge is standing at the doors!
As an example of
As an example of
suffering and patience, beloved,
take the prophets who spoke
in the name of the Lord.
James 5:7-10

Beautifully incorporated scripture in the peace emanating from your contrasting photos of dark and light. So metaphorical! I was reflecting on this very idea last night- the Christmas miracle we are all preparing for! Thank you for the encouragement, Susan.
Beautiful post. Enjoy the Christmas Season, Susan.
Hi Susan
Your picture today is such a great example of peace, inner peace. Yes, let us be patient even when we suffer for we know that nothing will ever be able to separate us from God's love.
