Good morning, my friends.
“Summer and Winter” was the title of my devotional today. Scripture reference Psalm 74:16-17.
Do you remember the lyric “summer time, when the living is easy” or “summer and winter, springtime and harvest…great is thy faithfulness”?
My late husband dreaded winter. When we lived on a farm, it was more work & early mornings/late nights in the cold temperatures or snow. After the farm, he still worked for the county and was responsible for snow removal; thus, not helping the winter dread. It wasn’t until we moved to the woods that winter seemed to be less of a dread and more of peaceful serenity.
Together, we learned that fresh snowfall can lighten our spirits and the bleakness of the winter gray. Warm glows from fires soften the blows of the trials and battles we fight. When looking at life through spiritual eyes, I see The Way, The Truth and The Life…in fresh snow, warm glowing light even in the winter seasons that last longer than a few months at a time.
So, find hope in the snow-covered days of your winter season of life, look for His footprints in the snow, lean on his promises and trust that the life you are living will be abundant because of who God was, is and shall forever be!
Blessings on the end of your January 2022.
