It’s felt like a long winter. Not because of the cold, but because of the gray skies. I’m a sunlight girl, a blinds-open, no-curtains-necessary kind of person. So the days that seem to come late and end early are difficult for me. My energy is sapped and I feel lethargic even though the bulbs are bright and the temperature is perfect inside.
In the spirit there are similar wintertime woes. Just as the earth tilts away from the sun and dims our days, the world tilts away from God and shadows lengthen in our society. Lethargy beckons. Apathy sets in. Individually, we can move away from God’s light and feel the desolation of winter. Encouragingly, we always have the option of traveling to a warmer climate in the natural and in the spiritual. Let’s seek out the SON and let His light warm our hearts today.
Tip/Tidbit: If you are struggling with gray-day blues, try filling your world with color. Throw a bright pillow on the couch, prepare a meal with foods of every shade in the rainbow, paint a canvas sunny yellow and write a word or scripture on it & display it in a prominent location, wear a colorful accessory to work, or put together a summer-inspired puzzle. Celebrating spring in your heart can dispel the wintertime blues.
