This little collage (Pinterest found) seems to capture the snow white wonders of winter. Isn't it beautiful?
This season... although not my favorite... has a glory all it's own. When the snow falls and blankets the ground in a pristine white covering, how can we not pause to take it in.
I love to watch the animals, who seem unbothered by the frigid temperatures, go about their work and play. The warmth of woolen mittens and a cup of something warm, it stirs something inside us that the other seasons can't quite reach. In winter, we are forced to pause.
Yes, winter is the semicolon season. Embrace the pause... and pay attention. The thought is not quite finished.
Winter's rest has a unique purpose... all its own... that must be accomplished. Dormant is not dead. Hibernation is not hiding. It is winter's work.
Again this scripture comes to mind:
"You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you have made summer and winter."
-Psalm 74:17
Boundaries, order and all things in their season.
"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork." -Psalm 19:1
Nature cannot help but showcase the miracle of His mighty hand as it caresses a weary world and allows us the winter season.
Today, I am grateful for snow white wonders and winter's work.
