“Mach es wie die Sonnenuhr,

zaehle die heiteren Stunden nur,”

SUNDIAL

is a saying I remember from Germany. The saying even rhymes and means, “Do what the sundial does, count only the cheerful and happy hours.”

I certainly don’t follow that advice!

As a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ I believe what I heard years ago in a sermon and what I have never forgotten:

“The God of eternity is the God of every hour and minute for a believer in Jesus Christ.”

I actually believe that the times without ‘sunshine’ in my life are of greater value for my spiritual life than the times with ‘sunshine’.
