Since Sunday evening,
it’s been snowing off and on . . .
. . . just now a lovely and very respectable swirl outside my kitchen window lightly coats the sidewalks that I just cleared this morning, dusts bare branches, creates delicate white fans on dark evergreen boughs.
Every February seems – to me, at least – the very longest month of the year, an endless expanse of waiting between glittering January and gusty March, hovering between frozen splendor and the drumbeat of spring.
And I hear that distant thrum and chafe for The Revealing – The Restoration, of which earthly spring is but a lovely foretelling.
Nevertheless, earthly spring will do for now!
Revelation 21:1-4
Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

“If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy,
the most probably explanation is that I was made for another world.”
