When winter comes

Like clockwork, each season comes to us without fail. Each season has its own beauty to show and teach us. When winter arrives, however, we often have mixed feelings about it because no one wants to endure dark days and longer nights. The bitter cold of winter keeps most of us inside our houses! Yet when the snow falls and we watch it from our windows, there’s a magical feeling attached to it! We love it when it’s warm and cozy inside, while outside, the whole atmosphere feels like a fairy tale with blankets of snow all around us and snow-capped mountains everywhere. The crisp white mornings, when everything looks so breezy and clear, are beautiful! Yet all around us, the plants, trees, birds, and most animals seem to hide from view! Life sometimes tries to hide from us during these times. The winter season represents those moments when nothing seems to be working for us, and we feel as though life has stopped! Winter has that feeling, but amidst this silence in our lives, like winter, there are many little beauties and even hidden freshness. When life is dark, look for brightness somewhere in its midst. Even when it seems to be hiding, seek out the bright side, because winter never fails to show us that there’s always a bright side to every darkness in our lives. How do you handle life when it feels like winter?
