Multitude Monday

It's been a long winter and spring has been late coming to Central New York.  But despite the rain and cool temperatures, flowers are poking their way out of the ground.  Birds are every where and there are signs that spring is, in fact, here to stay.

So often when we go through hard times, we can feel as if the sun will never shine.  Spring will never come.  Things will never get better.

And yet, as believers, there is hope.  Hope that the Lord will walk beside us to help us through the rough patches.  That He will work in us to change those issues that need to be redeemed.  That He will work through us to shine His light to those around us.



The winter will end.  Spring does come.  The sun will shine.  Hope is renewed.
