Spring and summer can bring optimism, new birth, new relationships. It's much celebrated.
Flowers appear on the earth
the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
is heard in our land.
Song of Songs 2:12 (NIV)

Weather, stormy or sunny--for those who trust in God, we have this promise:
Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.
Hebrews 13:5 (NIV)
You Will Never Walk Alone!
