Peter EnnsGrace grows best in winter.
About This Quote
This is something I learned when I was in middle school. One day, when I was frustrated because my English teacher was teaching me a poem instead of reading it to me, my friend told me it’s better to wait until the winter for grace to grow. Now, if you think about it, what she said makes sense. The time for everything to grow is in the winter months. That way, everything has time to get strong and healthy, so by springtime, all at once, it can bloom.
