This Too Shall Pass

“the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come…” Song of Solomon verse 11, 12

Winter time is cold and bleak as with life when there is sorrow things are cold and bleak. Yet, when winter passes there is the anticipation of spring as the harbinger of hope.

Someone reminded me today, “hope springs eternal in the human breast”. This famous quotation was taken from the 18th century English poet Alexander Pope’s An Essay on Man (1732).

When faced with adversity humans will try to hope for the best.

Under the name Francis Lee, I write interracial Christian romantic suspense. My stories are about finding enduring love when hope and redemption seem unattainable as danger lurks around every corner. My characters learn that where there is darkness, "joy will always come in the morning". View all posts by Jemmie Jems
