KEYS IN THE SNOW
By Sally I. Kennedy
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9

Keys in the Snow


My husband and I had a real treat a couple years ago when our friend, Michele, invited us for a few days to their home in the mountains. Ben was thrilled to have an opportunity to get out his skis and head for the slopes. I, too, so much enjoyed the R & R in a place so very different from our home in south Florida.

Off the back wood deck of the house, there was a large iron antique key. It occurred to me that keys in the snow are like seeds buried underground in winter. Some big, some smaller. The seeds aren’t just lying there doing nothing. They are building energy - while resting - to germinate and sprout. And when the inactivity of a winter season is over, spring gets underway. Pretty soon what’s going on is visible to OUR eyes. A tiny green blade pokes through, and we’re on the way.......

The dream God has crafted just for you, might be your seed. Perhaps it is still buried deep under a thick layer of snow. The blanket of insulation can protect it, while preparation is happening. God gave you the dream. He takes care to let nothing happen to it.

In the midst of New Year’s resolutions and plannings, it’s good news to remember there’s a divine plan for our “keys” in the snow.
