This was written when I heard a friend here on fubar lost her baby to murder.
What is Winter?
Winter is a bad word to many but to some it is the beauty of God’s tender love personified
Winter is not just cruel and desolate but a thing of beauty
It is a world of fantasy and delight to the young child and to some
It is a world of play but to me it is when
God has tucked in the world with a sparkling blanket of white
While the world slumbers a magical thing is going on
God in his infinite wisdom creates new life while the world sleeps
While the earth dreams of sleds and skis the seeds of life are planted
To erupt into life on the first day of spring with a beauty only God can create
Yes winter may seem cold and cruel but to me it is God’s way of showing there is purity of love and the renewal of the old and withered with a new beauty each and every spring
