It is officially spring...but temperatures have fallen around thirty degrees. Snow flurries were seen outside today. We are told to expect temperatures of teens to twenties soon. Of course, I am not pleased with this weather. (Nor is my body.) However, the forecast for the coming week looks much warmer. I began thinking.
We certainly experience various seasons on life's journey. Some are warm and wonderful. Some are not so wonderful and very difficult. Even during an enjoyable season, a sudden turn of events can immediately change our perspective. I especially appreciate it when something suddenly turns a season of challenges into celebration.
Yet as I notice next week's warmer forecast, I have hope. Hope helps me realize that this is not all there is on this journey. Winds may blow and snow flurries may fall...but spring will reign and summer will arrive. A few days of unexpected cold weather does not change the promise of spring!
Oh, how I rejoice that a few steps are not all there is on this journey. Better steps are ahead. His promises are sure and hope is alive. Twists and turns are inevitable...but He has given us so much to look forward to as this journey unfolds. As someone once said, "It's Friday, but Sunday's coming." Yes, life is not always easy. We fall. We hurt. We lose our way. We don't understand. But He is our reason to hold on for there is hope. There is joy in this journey. His love makes all the difference...step by step...moment by moment...until we are Home...in His arms forever.<3~thl
