A THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
I expect, you, like me are thinking you should go on a diet and lose all that weight you put on over the Christmas period. Why is it, that it is so easy to put extra pounds on but so difficult to get them off again. Unless of course there is a medical reason, which in all honestly most of us can’t blame.
Overheard in a Shopping Centre just before Christmas was a woman saying to her husband – “look, see that nativity scene! They are even bringing religion into Christmas now!” I fear that with our secular society many people in our Country don’t know the true reason for Christmas but I am sure there will always be many Christians doing their best to tell the true meaning of Christmas to anyone willing to listen.
Soon we will all be looking forward to lighter evenings, warmer, sunnier weather and the chance to get out in our gardens. The trees will be coming to life – in fact some have already come to life and even have flower buds on them. I have had the odd Camellia flower out already. Daffodils and Snowdrops are poking up out of the ground ‘Spring is in the air!’
Very soon lambs will be born and we will see them jumping and dancing in the fields, the sheep that have been guests on our farm over the winter months have been taken home so that their owner can keep a close eye on them as start to give birth to new life. Nature never ceases to amaze me Our Creator thought of everything when He was planning our earth. Everything produces some form of new life to ensure that the cycle continues year by year.
Last spring was very dry and I noticed that Oak, Chestnut, Hazel and Beech trees all produced an excessive amount of nuts which is apparently their way of ensuring that if they dye of thirst life will go on.
How great is Our God!
