Picture this: The family gathered together playing a game. There is joy, peace, love; just good quality time together. Time with family makes the connection between you stronger. You know you are right where you belong; you are home. Inside your home you feel secure and warmth; Outside a cold winter storm blows. Outside you would be exposed and vulnerable to the harsh effects of the winter. Outsid...e you are anxious for warmth and security; you feel lost and alone.
Job 38:29 "From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens." A reading from a devotional: Winter is essential for growth. Stripped down to the bare minimum our economic, emotional or spiritual winter makes clear to us the essentials from the superfluous."
God, Thank you for the winters in my life. They can be a real challenge to go through but, when I look back I see the growth they have produced in me. Winters give me a stronger desire to rest in your warm and secure arms. Those times in your arms are times of bonding that give me strength, encouragement and a better understanding of you. In your arms I am secure. In your arms I am home. With all my love and trust in Jesus' name Amen.
