It finally happened. The countdown has begun. As of today, January 2, 2016, there are only 78 days until Spring! So far, our winter has been quite mild but there is plenty of time for more seasonable weather. Yet knowing that each day brings us closer to a season of new life and growth gives me hope.
I began thinking. As much as I love Spring and counting the days until that beautiful time of year, I am even more excited about another journey of hope. Life is not always easy. In the past week, we have learned of a relative's death as well as the deaths of a couple college friends. This season has been sad, shocking and confusing. We don't understand why so many things happen the way they do.
How comforting to know that this is only one season of life's journey. How assuring to know that we will see loved ones again in a place of no more sickness, sadness, death or goodbyes. There is hope for today and tomorrow. For in a season we may not enjoy now, we know there is a beautiful season we have yet to experience. I am counting on that wonderful new life which makes this present journey worthwhile.
Yes, I enjoy counting the days until spring. Yet making each day count on this journey we now have is much more important. Each moment...each breath...each opportunity...each life...matters. May we live with hope, love, faith and purpose. Make it count!<3~thl
