Wonders of Winter

Nobody would argue that this has been an exceptionally cold winter - so far. It is fun listening to those who have lived in the North Land for many years tell of the old days when we "really had winter". In spite of all the cold and snow, there has been some real blessings to this winter. The scenery has been absolutely amazing. I have never seen the snow stay on the trees and landscape this long. Warming up today the trees have been coated with hoar frost and the sunsets have been above usual. It is too easy to see this winter as a bad thing instead of God showing us His glory and majesty in nature.
