It is a well-known fact that Texas weather is crazy. And sometimes, I am very thankful for it. I was pleasantly surprised, overjoyed actually, to find myself soaking up the sunshine on our 80°+ day last week. It’s the end of January, Winter is not supposed to bring amazing warm days. But sometimes we are blessed with them.
Now imagine if it were 80° every day, all year. We wouldn’t be too thrilled about the thought of yet another warm day ahead. Winter’s season of bitterness and cold, with a warm day sprinkled in, is a wonderful metaphor of how God’s light shines through our darkness. Sometimes we may feel we’re going through a dark or cold part of our life. Things may not be going as we hoped, plans get altered, we get sick or feel down. But what a great place to be in, because God can step in and brighten everything up. Cold days give us an appreciation for warm ones (or vice versa, if you actually love the winter season) and life’s struggles give us the chance to see God work in amazing ways
