I was outside this afternoon and was silenced by the sound of birds….
There were so many birds chirping and the sound was almost glorious…
And then I remembered it was almost Christmas….
I am not sure I can recall every hearing the birds in December like I did today…
The weather has felt like a mystery over the last year…
And yet I must be honest that I really liked biking on December 3…
And so, as much as I love the birds and the biking, I do believe that the frozen ground helps to prepare the land for Spring. And so I am willing to say good-bye to the birds and move my bike downstairs, but I will say that in my prayers, I am asking for lots of sunshine in the coming months!
So, as the cold weather comes and the winds start to blow, may we remember that there is a purpose, even to the cold!
Dress warm and enjoy!
