Yes, winter is here.
I know that brings unpleasant thoughts to some of you. But for me, I choose to reflect on some of the things that winter does bring.
Like SNOW!
Yes, I am one of those people who really likes the snow.
What I like the best is watching it falling down and knowing that every snowflake is completely different.
No two are alike.
I like being out in a snowfall and experiencing the silence that occurs when all the earth is being blanketed with a white covering. I like being one of the few out in the snow either walking or even driving. I love watching how it swirls and rests in different formations on the ground. The sense that nothing is moving, and everything is still and silent is a very peaceful feeling for me.
Stillness and silence—some words that do not describe our daily lives.
We are all busy.
I visited someone in the hospital a while back and I asked her if certain individuals had come to see her and she responded with, “No, they are too busy.”
That would describe all of us—even me.
Too busy to see the face of someone who is hurting.
Too busy to be still and listen to the laughter and talk of a child.
Too busy to turn off the computer and Facebook, or set your phone aside, and sit for a time face to face with someone over a cup of coffee.
Too busy to read God’s Word and hear what He wants to share with us on a personal level. Look at the picture below and ask God to allow you to be still and know that He is God (Ps. 46:10).
Enjoy His presence and relax in His love.
He will never leave you nor forsake you.
