A Bear's Tale

My parents taught me a few Bible Scriptures when I was just a little teddy. I never understood them until I became an adult and found them useful in my maturity and also in helping others. Take for example the one that says, "Weeping endures for the night but joy comes in the morning"*. Or the one that speaks of seed time and harvest. ** Anyway, I know what's coming and prepare. I eat plenty of food for winter stays. It's nature's way with me, and They call it hibernation. I don't mind, but simply take advantage of the much-needed rest and dismiss all the rest. When Spring burst forth, I'm hungry and ready to feast on what nature provides. Nature. She is good to me, and I'm grateful. Why me and not the deer? I'm just a big bear, but it's nice to know that God cares for me too. During the other seasons when I meet and make acquaintances with others of the wilds, I do my best to encourage them that Spring always follows the harshest winter, bringing life, fresh food, and beauty. Most times, they look at me and smile, wishing they were me. 012523PSCtest, Winter Is Not Forever.
