this year was my first "northern" winter; i've lived in VA since i was 5 and the weather is milder down there. i don't even think that this winter was necessarily a bad one, but it's certainly been colder and snowier than i'm used to. and i must say, the cold and the shorter days have made me yearn for the coming of spring in a way i haven't before-- perhaps i forget every year how much i enjoy seeing the new life of spring, the renewal, the freshness and color of it. the latter is more likely; in the same way, i forget my desperate need of Grace because i get used to the dark and the coldness of the human heart in its sinful state. i think it is a wonderful design of God's to create the seasons in such a way as to remind us every spring of the blessing of Grace He has bestowed upon us. and so today i am studying and i have my bedroom windows open, enjoying the fresh air after last night's rain.
