The Valley of Bacca (weeping) & knitting

I have recently been reading a book that has repeatedly talked about the 'Valley of Bacca' or the 'Valley of Weeping' spoken of in Psalms. We all seem to go through this Valley at different times of our lives. Yet at each end of our 'Valley' we will find that a Mountain Top awaits us. I find this true when it comes to knitting. How many times do we 'frog' in knitting to only find that one time we don't 'frog' & are able to knit a wonderful piece that only came from our times of 'frogging'. Is this not true for all our journey's in life, whether it is life itself or with our knitting. God created this world with different stitches, different colors of yarn, just like we create beautiful items through our different patterns & yarns. With the completion of our pattern-our mountain top comes satisfaction like we have ever known, no matter how small or great our knitting project is. Life is beautiful, life is good, no matter how hard, no matter how many valleys (frogs) we have, our lives are beautiful because God created it all. Never forget our knitting, crocheting all our crafts come from God just as life itself does. God's Blessings Jil
