Living Seasonally
January proved to be a season of sickness and sorrow for our family. Sickness being passed back and forth, lingering. Ephraim is the latest to get the bug, we hope he’ll get over this soon. And a time of mourning the earthly loss of a precious child (my cousin’s) who is now resting in the arms of our risen Lord. Not here long, but very loved and missed.
Now my mind turns to the next season, Lent.
“Alleluia cannot always
Be our song while here below;
Alleluia, our transgressions
Make us for a while forego;
For the solemn time is coming
When our tears for sin must flow.”
“Therefore in our hymns we pray Thee,
Grant us, blessed Trinity,
At the last to keep Thine Easter
With Thy faithful saints on high;
There to Thee for ever singing
Alleluia joyfully.”
