We Need A Winter In Our Lives

As we in New England sit imprisoned in our homes where we cannot leave nor can anyone enter, and as the winds howl and swirl the snow in circles around us, this day can be a precious gift, as is the season of winter.  A friend sent this poem that can give added meaning to this day:


Heavenly Father,
We need a winter in our lives
a time of rest, a time to stand still
a time to acquaint ourselves with the faith in which we live.


It is only then that we can draw strength
from the one in whom we are rooted
take time to grow and rise through the darkness
into the warm glow of your springtime


to blossom and flourish
bring color to your world
your garden.


Thank you Father
for the seasons of our lives.


May we be open to the gifts of time and rest that this day will bring.
Bro.  Rene
