Winter is just there.

Wow, what a beautiful story, Gilda! Such wise insights here. I love the image of how death may come like the winter, but bc of the Resurrection, the garden is not truly dead, only resting. Because of Jesus, spring will come again! It sounds like your dad always knew what to say! He kind of reminds me of Corrie Ten Boom's dad (Casper) in The Hiding Place!

Thank you, Ada! Yes, winter is alive; only resting under the surface of what we can see. My father did always seem to know just what to say. I always hoped I would learn that but I’m not so quick as he was. That’s a beautiful connection about Corrie Ten Boom’s father. He was amazing, also. 🥰

Geez. More beautiful remembrances. Makes me tear up. Death is so painfully unnatural. It's rude. But in Jesus it's not the end of the story. Merely winter before the new life. I love it.

🥹 Yes death is unnatural! In Genesis…by dying shall die…we were created for eternal life. And praise God through Jesus we have eternal life. Winter is not the end of the story. It’s the prelude to Eternal Spring! 🥰
