The darkness that comes with life’s broken places can be a place of fear and anguish and despair. It can also be a sheltering womb preparing us for healing, growth, and resurrection. Which one do you see in the darkness?

The promise of spring with its returning light and warmth help give us hope in the cold of winter. Likewise, the hope of healing can help us survive life’s dark times.
