IMG_0228When I read today the quote:

“Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn’t people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?”

by Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, Habakkuk 3:17 came to my mind, where it says:

1.  “Though the figtree does not bud and

2.  there are no grapes on the vines,

3.  though the olive crop fails and

4.  the fields produce no food,

5.  though there are no sheep in the pen and

6.  no cattle in the stalls,

yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.”

“Manchmal bin ich ein Thermometer – bei all der Not um mich “falle” ich. Aber wir muessen Thermostate sein, nicht Thermometer. Ein Thermostat spuert die Kaelte und ersetzt sofort die fehlende Waerme,  indem er das Zimmer mit dem **Ofen in Verbindung bringt. Das ist es, was wir tun muessen.” – Corrie ten Boom

** 0der mit der Klimaanlage!
