Spring is here (sort of)

Spring is my favourite season.  It's beautiful, and as a fellow blogger mentioned recently, it's a nice allegory to God's Promise working in our lives despite all outward appearances at times.  But despite my growing dislike of the Winter cold, I think Winter is beautiful in a different way.  The sun hitting golden stalks of yesteryear, against the blinding white moguls in the fields, with a backdrop of browns and grays littering otherwise white mountains - this is also beauty to me.  Even seeing the litterlike brown chunks of previously turned, plowed, and harvested fields of manured farmland, dotting the snow like moonrocks, is a really neat sight that is lost once the green of Spring emerges and the white fades into the trickling streams of nourishment.

Indeed, Spring is a wonderful allegory of God's Promise, but all seasons are showcases of His work in our lives.  Of course, it's easier to appreciate when you're peering out from the elemental protection of a home or car!
