Journaling Prompt: I am thinking…
1-4-10


I am thinking about winter with its icy fingers creeping down our backs, lingering long and harsh until the gentle breath of spring blossoms melts away its chilling hold.. Winter swoops from the north, swallowing up the blazing ball known in the summer as the sun. Winter then regurgitates a cold, distant orb that periodically immerges from between the cumulus clouds long enough for us to believe that winter will eventually come to an end. When in reality, the real sun spends the season hanging around the Caribbean beaches entertaining scantly clad, energetic vacationers. Meanwhile we survive with the help of our thermal underwear, ultraviolet tanning beds and vitamin D supplements.
But, like all seasons winter has its purpose in nature’s circle of life, giving rest to God’s creatures, time to contemplate the pages of the Book of Life that have been turned and anticipate opportunities that lie, undiscovered in the remaining chapters.
