Psalms 16:11 (KJV) 

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

It’s that time of year again, and winter is knocking at our door extra early this year.  Although December 21 it the official ushering in of the season, apparently winter doesn’t realize it’s a little early, as evidenced by a huge snowfall last week, and another one on its way in two days!  Oh well..

I see things differently than I did as a child.  For example, I loved romping in the snow.  In fact, Mom had a difficult time keeping me “dry” in winter, as I was always creating snow angels, building igloos, or building snow people!  Yes, snow people, I always insisted on a female, and a male, and even snow children, in our winter wonderland backyard.

Now, having made my way into retirement years, I view snow in a realistic fashion.  Of course, it is still a thing of beauty, as it envelops our yard, while transforming trees into magical, twinkling, white magnificence,  at times, seeing a stunning red cardinal sitting atop a tree,  adding a dramatic effect to the beauty, created by our Creator.

However, that having been said…I can’t stand navigating the icy roads, or walking slowly to, and from, the car as I do errands.  So, yes… I see it differently from an adults’ view versus a childs’.

But, there is one thing that’s never changed, and that is, I see “God” in all of the seasons.

I feel, and see Him, and experience the fullness of Joy, through it all. I feel His peace, and His love, I feel alive, and I am filled with LIFE!

I see His hand in snow, sleet, and rain.  I see Him in cloudy days, I see Him in the radiant sun, I see Him in the light, I see Him in the dark.

His mercy endures in any weather, irrespective of where we live. God, is always in the realm, in which we are, in which we breathe, in which we exist.  He, is a part of us, in every season, and He, is a reality in all that we do.

As I gaze our into our backyard, and view the snow, and watch the squirrels skipping, and jumping, from branch to branch, and birds flitting from tree to tree, I see the face of God.

And I know  even though it’s freezing outside, I’m filled with the warmth of His love, and it doesn’t get any better than that!

“Father, God, I am in awe of Your magnificence, and Your Sovereign power, I see You in all I do, and all that surrounds me, thank You for Your love, Your enduring mercy, and for seeing me through all the seasons of Your love, now, and always, in Jesus name, Amen.”
