These Indiana winters are hard for me to bear. I believe that it is true that prolonged periods of mostly darkness can negatively one’s attitudes. While my attitude hasn’t yet reached one of despair, I can’t say that my thoughts are extremely positive. Some good weather will help, but my attitude about the weather is a choice.
Psalm 4:6-7 says, “There are many who say, ‘Who will show us some good? Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!’ You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound.” Even in the darkest times, God’s face brings light to this fallen world. His presence gives us greater joy than anything this world has to offer. Let us be bearers of this joy and light to those around us.
