The months of winter are often that kind of place. It seems as though life has been put on hold. But soon, the cold winds give way to warm breezes. The sun begins to melt the cold from the earth. Soon, the daffodils will line the hillsides and the lilies will pop up from their frozen homes to greet the morning.
Life seems to begin again in the Spring.
Hold a seed in your hand, and then give it its intended home in the fertile soil and watch. Watch as the days and weeks and months go by as its tender and tentative shoots form and poke out from their dark hiding place. See their growth as they are tended gently by God's sun and the dew. Observe them growing and blooming under your loving gaze. This is how it is with God.
