Life is filled with ups and downs and mine has certainly been no exception.
Several years ago when some serious problems were starting to gather on the horizon a friend told me about a book that had brought her a great deal of peace. I located a copy for myself and set it aside until the right moment.
Come Before Winter and Share My Hope is a wonderful book of devotions by Charles R. Swindoll. Its 122 meditations are divided into three sections: Before Winter – a time of preparation, Mid-Winter’s Blast – a time of perseverance, and Winter’s End – a time of promise. Since it wasn’t designed as a yearly devotional, I chose to begin it last July and only read entries the days I felt compelled to, finishing it in December.
Although written more than twenty years ago, I found the devotions to be fresh and quite relevant to life today. It’s definitely a book to draw reassurance and encouragement from again and again.

I'll have to check this one out. It sounds great. I've loved Swindall ever since I read his book about strong-willed children and tough love. It kept me from choking my youngest! LOL!
Looks interesting, Sis! I'll have to check it out!
I have this but it's been a long time since I read any of it. I have always liked Swindoll.
Susan and I are reading the Bible through in a year. You have an O.T. and N.T. reading each day, and a small dose of Psalms and Proverbs. I love reading the Bible like this because I realize anew that it is indeed a story.
