Winter's Potting Shelf

Lately, my heart and my mind have felt a bit like a potting shelf in winter... tired and somewhat desolate. I'm not speaking of weighty burdens heavy on my soul, just the weariness of everyday life with a bit of uncertainty stirred in to challenge my focus and my faith. Even in seasons of winter His mercies rain down. I continue to count them, offering praise and thanksgiving for each. Therein I find and bask in the Light!
