The hope of spring ...

These pictures make me think of being trapped in winter for a hundred years (like it has felt for the past six months) ...

 OR … I can focus on those beautiful red berries and remember that ...

 spring is much closer than it was a few weeks ago …

These berries are hanging off a little tree
just outside my work place. They
have been buried in ice for weeks now …
HOW have they survived?!!

Yes … the hope of spring … it always comes, just like God has promised. He will not let us down!
