Remind me in February when I complain about the snow and cold that I said back in November that I love the snow.  I like it best sitting by the fireplace with a cup of coffee and a cookie.  Looking out the window, the snow looks so clear and clean. If there is ice on the trees it looks like a crystal fairyland.  I know that the ice is not good for the trees and that before Spring, Indiana will be the slush capital of the nation.  Most of us like the variety that the change of seasons present.  We are often ready for that change even well before it comes.  It is interesting that we find other kinds of change difficult.  Perhaps that is because we can’t be sure what the results of change will be.With the seasons we can be sure that spring will follow winter and summer will follow spring and fall will follow summer and winter will follow fall.With other change we are less certain.If customs change, what will be lost or what will be the final outcome?Is the change good or bad?Is the change inevitable?How will we deal with the changing circumstances?It can help if we remember that we worship a God who is even more dependable than the seasons.There will be no change that we cannot face with the help of the dependable God.
