Only in the Winter…

The world is born in the spring

rejoices in summer

and bundles its blessings in autumn

∗

But only in the winter

does it learn who it is

    This is beautiful, Mitch. Peaceful, poignant, and true. Winter teaches me so much. Many blessings, dear friend. I appreciate you so much.

    YES!!! Winter is my favorite. The school district called a snow-day today and my work follows their call, so I’m working remotely for the second day in a row… Love it…work is done quicker, clock out, enjoy some warm think time, some Gary time, a good book and checking in on family & blogs! This one was short but ever-so-sweet. Thank you, Mitch! 😁

    So very true, Mitch. Winter is definitely a season that tests us and we reemerge from the Spring a different person than we were in the autumn.

    The seasons change but our God doesn’t, Amen!

    Winter, is the main season, where I live, Mitch. The world does get tested in the deep cold and really does show its identity in the deep freeze and quiet of winter. One is tested by the challenges and is purified.

    Morning, Mitch. Winter is when Nature rests a bit and plans for the future.
