As winter comes to a close and spring peaks it's sunshiny head around the corner, I can't help but wonder why I put so much weight on my hatred for winter. I mean I know why...It's cold, and depressing, and long. But can a season really hold so much power over my attitude?
I look at pictures like this one and all I can think about is how much I love sun and summer and warmth. How could I not?!
Even Max loves summer!
Anyway enough about me. I though it was appropriate as we are nearing the end of winter, for us to stop and really take a look at the beauty in this season. And instead of writing this myself, I found someone who could do it much better than I could. You can find the devotional here: http://www.crosswalk.com/blogs/daniel-
There is so much beauty in winter, just as there is also beauty in life's suffering. But never fear dear friends, summer is just around the corner!
Revelation7:13-17
"Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they, and where did they come from?"
I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Therefore, "they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.
Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat.
For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
