And not because it's winter and we're in the shortest light season of the year.<br /><br />I find it takes much work to stay happy for some reason. The pressures of life do willfully tread on my heart.<br /><br />But the One who knows those same pressures from personal experiences reminds me often not to let the cares and anxieties of this world choke out the words of eternal life that spring up in our hearts if we become still with Him.<br /><br />I wish you encouragement about your writing, Janet. And grace for every footprint you must make today and this week.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Brenda<br />Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.com
