Yesterday I commented on the concept of waiting.  This morning I am reading various entries on my Facebook page revealing the appearance of bulbs starting to peek through the snow, the sun beginning to shine more frequently and the spirits of my friends awaking to positivity that winter is truly coming to an end.  It's been a long, hard, record-breaking winter for people all across the country.  At one point 49 out of the 50 states were experiencing snow!  When we are in the midst of a continuous onslaught of conditions out of the ordinary, we simply question "how long will this encounter last?" 

I was reminded this morning as I read in Psalm, Chapter 30, verse 5b, "weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."  And again in verses 11 and 12, "You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent, O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever."  At the end of every tunnel is a light.  We, in our human form and finite minds, cannot determined the length of the tunnel, but as Christians we know God walks with us and He is the Light of the world.  But after walking through the darkness, oh how much sweeter is the Light!  God bless, my friends and may you find hints of Spring and the new life Christ gives surrounding your day!
