Bidding Winter a Warm Goodbye

You know it takes just a month or two of winter for you to 

really appreciate the coming of spring...

Take a look at these two pictures & you'll understand how 

different these two seasons are!

The once lifeless roundabout is now filled with colourful flowers

and the cherry blossoms bloom a beautiful rosy pink...

What better way to appreciate this than to look back just 2 months ago 

when everything was dull, colourless and bleak? 

What a contrast!

If only we were able to see e potential in these "dead" & "lifeless" trees...

And if only we had the patience to wait till the coming of spring...

To me personally, its a reminder that there is hope even in the bleakest

of seasons, when things seem dull & dreary and when there's nothing but

coldness. Let others mumble and grumble about how cold we are, and let

them complain about how "dead" we might be. But as for me, I'll continue

holding on to the blessed hope that once spring arrives, we'll be filled with

warmth & joy, when people start to sprout up and grow. Continue serving

and be strong, Aunty Lilian, Justin, Jun Hao, Christina, Charlene, Alissa;

and be encouraged by the little signs of "spring" that we're seeing =)

Even the seasons are a promise from God:

"While the earth remaineth, 

seedtime and harvest,

and cold and heat,

and summer and winter,

and day and night shall not cease."

Genesis 8:22

Bidding this winter a warm goodbye...
