For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling,that I may walk before God in the light of life. Psalm 56:13
Winter has that feel about it like all is stationary, all has stopped,all has gone to sleep,all is lifeless,cold like the earth is wrapped in death. But then, and we are seeing it now, a bulb or two breaks through the hard soil and showers the dull with bright colours. There is a new, yet familiar perfume at the front door as the Daphne fills the air with incense and have you noticed the Prunus tree? Its buds of pink have burst into individual displays of joy and the brightness of the wattle adds to the spirit of awakening of all the senses. This is healing. This is reminiscing. This is assurance. This is hope. We can take this image and use it in so many ways to see the hand of God, not just in nature, but in our lives. In our days of joy it gives more joy. In our days of struggling it gives great hope. Changing seasons in nature and in our lives are gifts from God that we can constantly unwrap.
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ
Anne, servant of the Lord.
