winter loveliness

Oh Beautiful Winter, how I love you!  

You know, under all that fluffy, white snow is dead grass.  Beneath all of the cold, not much can thrive. This is a time of hibernation and many living things are in deep sleep.  

and yet, there is a true beauty.

As I look on, a lady- in-waiting, I know there is new life coming.  He has promised it is so.

There are times I find my heart mid-winter.  It would be a bleak winter if I didn’t know His truth.  There are seasons when the old needs to die, so that something new can be birthed. Often death must happen for that something new to fully bloom in my heart.  

I find refreshment, here, in this wintry place of peace and quiet – because I believe His promise of spring.
