Following a week of springlike temperatures and an incredible thaw that resulted in puddles, we were slammed with another foot of snow yesterday. Yes, it's only February...and it is Wisconsin...and we should certainly expect this kind of weather. But after the spring "tease" of the previous days, this additional snow was sort of a hard pill to swallow. Yet as I do every year (regardless of the weather outside), I'll be packing away my winter decor next week in exchange for my fresh, springtime lovelies. Each year it is, to me, a picture of hope; a reminder that God keeps His promises. The barren trees will eventually give way to green buds. The dormant bulbs will push forth out of the ground, bursting forth with color. The robins will return, singing their familiar choruses. And the God who gave us winter will, in His perfect timing, make all things new this Spring.
