It snowed last night;
I woke up to a picturesque winter wonderland; it looked just like a postcard!
What a lovely sight; who wouldn’t want to wake up to such perfection every day, for the rest of their lives?
In a world before corona virus, children (and some adults too) would be playing in the snow, building snowmen, having snowball fights and generally having loads of fun.
Presenting a façade for the world to see, while our hearts are hurting with pain beneath the surface
Yet, as I looked at the postcard image outside my window, I can see in my mind’s eye the broken slates that need replacing on the roof of one of the houses across the street, and the growing plant flora on most of the roof tiles including ours, the house down the road badly in need of a coat of paint, and the pothole just developing right in front of my house. All these blemishes and many more that we cannot see or never even noticed were there, are completely covered by this beautiful blanket of snow.
And so, as I look at the picture perfect snow, I wonder, don’t I do the same, censoring the ‘me’ that I present to the world;
Don’t we all? Presenting a front, a façade for the world to see, while our hearts are hurting with pain beneath the surface of our bright smiles, manicured nails and well powdered faces?
So what did I learn watching the snow? I learnt that we were never meant to do life alone, to carry our burdens by ourselves, which is why Jesus invites us to come, because His burden is easy and His yoke is light Matthew 11:28.
The old adage says “a trouble shared is a trouble halved”. So my friends, may I ask, what are you hiding beneath the surface? What fears, what hurts, what pain, what regrets? It doesn’t matter how long you have been carrying this burden alone, it is time to let someone in to help bear your burdens Galatians 6:2; remember we are visiting over a cup of tea or coffee and cookies.
I’d love to hear from you, so send in your comments or send me an email. Let’s talk!

Thanks , I have just been looking for information about this subject for a long time and yours is the best I have found out so far. However, what about the conclusion? Are you certain in regards to the supply?
Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the images on this blog loading? I’m trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

Throughout this grand design of things you receive a B+ with regard to effort and hard work. Where exactly you actually confused me personally was first in all the facts. As they say, the devil is in the details… And it couldn’t be much more true here. Having said that, permit me reveal to you precisely what did give good results. The authoring is actually pretty convincing and that is most likely the reason why I am making the effort in order to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, even though I can certainly see the leaps in logic you make, I am definitely not confident of just how you appear to connect your ideas which help to make the actual final result. For right now I will, no doubt subscribe to your issue but wish in the future you actually link your dots better.
