It is deep winter on the earth.
Deeper still this winter of my life,
for a coldness lays upon my dreams,
that have been broken and destroyed.
Yet I find myself clinging to you,
in ways I never have before.

Oh, Faith

The gift of this faith is all I have,
renewed moment to moment, day by day.
As this loss washes over my soul,
threatening to bury me in cold deep snow,
I hear Your quietly whispered assurance.
That as spring surely comes each year,
You will bring a new peace to my life,
and I will know the beauty of spring,
as I have never known it before.
As all is warmed and  a rebirth is found
in the eternal promise of your Love.


A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Knowing that you hold the faith in your heart I am sure that you will feel the warmth of spring everyday through "his" love for us.  Beautiful write and so full of the
power that rests in his promise to us.

Ellie,
  With a heart so trusting and so true, SPRING will not be denied to you, but you shall find the warmth and peace that you desire. God takes care of his our, your faith WILL be rewarded. Peace unto you.

Sounds like someone has the winter blues?

Hang in there Ellie, your faith shall bring you through. A resting time before it all "springs" back to life.

I know not what the future holds,
but I know Who holds the future.

I don't question YOUR existance - GOD
