...we get a glimpse of spring.
I have an orchid that Erin gave me in my living room. I was gone from home for a couple of days to attend to church matters in Dresden, and I mistakenly left my heat on high while I was away. I returned to a very warm house, but a surprise as well. The orchid, which had apparently been dormant for several months in the cold of winter and presumed dead by me had, in my greenhouse-like warm house, bloomed again.
Sometimes life is like that. When everything is "normal" or in its appropriate season we become dormant and cold to the surroundings we face each day. When we face a struggle or a challenge and the "heat" is turned up, God sometimes gives us great opportunities to show His beauty to others.
Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me,
-Will
