DB - Thursday 19th February 09 - Celebrate Winter
Why am I so sad? Why am I so troubled? I will put my hope in God, and once again I will praise Him, my Savior and my God.- Psalm 42 : 5
A British friend told me that the people in England and Europe are having a very bad winter. Strong winds, rain and heavy snow poured over Europe and stalled transport and disrupt businesses. I then asked him if he was thinking of 'always hot Singapore' when he was there. He replied that he missed Singapore but there again, he said that now he loves and appreciate our weather more.
I responded to my friend's frustration by saying that in winter, one do expect snow and cold weather. When it comes heavy, it is time to rest and relax. For everything it has it's goodness when we put our hope and faith in God. My friend agreed with me and confessed that he spent more time with his ageing mother this trip. There is a season for every purpose under heaven. We should be more positive and not allow any sadness to floor us out of our own esteem and reasons for living. Aim high look positive!
Let the reality of Christmas chase away the blahs of winter.
