Sometimes it is really sad to known that when people are at the mountaintop, they tend to forget about HIM. They would only remember HIM when they are at their lowest point. Hope this habit changes.

I’ve been known to critique a quote or two for In Other Words before too. hehe. I think after living on an Indian reservation for two years in the Southwest U.S., I can say that mountain tops are great. I lived on the desert floor, and the mesas that spanned both the east and western horizon were magnificant. When one drove to the top of those mesas the view was awesome!! However, I truly believe that at times we are called to live in the valleys. But even during our darkest hours the Lord brings joy and a bit of the mountain top experience to us. It is only from the desert floor that one can truly appreciate the setting sun and the way it changes the eastern mesa colors as it descends. Only on the desert floor can one truly appreciate the desert in bloom. One can see the double rainbows.etc. I believe these and many more are reasons that though we toil on the desert floor, God in His riches brings glories to us to uplift our spirits. So even though we may be in the valley of our circumstances we have ‘mountain top’ experiences because of God’s love.

Thank you for sharing your viewpoint on this week’s quote. I do think that we have mountaintop experiences, but from my own life-experience, I usually have a hard time adjusting to the valley for a while. But I have to say that I grow most in the valley

Blessings to you and yours.

Robin, you have been in my thoughts and prayers since I first heard about your illness and surgery — and will continue to be. I hope that you feel those prayers coming your way and are strengthened by the support of so many folks here in cyberspace who don’t know you personally, but care about you. My wish for you is that things get better soon!

Thanks this encouragement. Great view of the valley and mountains. I want the mountain top.

I’m in a dark valley right now. I could use your prayers. I am shameless asking everyone I know to lift me up– I need help in this battle–I’m not doing so well on my own.

Thank you.

A thought provoking and worthwhile critique. It will be interesting to have these conversations in heaven with our brothers and sisters who lived in earlier generations.
