AFTER a frosty and very cold couple of days, how nice it is to see nature awakening, showing signs of spring and that hope of better things to come. God is reminding us of something beautiful: seasons change.
It sounds simple but it’s actually profound.
God reminds us that right here, this season of life is but a moment in the grand scheme of things.
God is doing a new thing right here – trust Him.
Don’t look at the progress, just trust the process.
He’s got you and He’s working.
“For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.” (Romans 1:20)

The Samaritans Purse Operation Christmas Child runs its shoebox appeal every year and at the Grain Shed boxes are available for people who don’t have any old shoe boxes to fill.
We are also the drop-off point for filled boxes.
Check out www.occ.samaritanspurse.org.au for ideas on how to pack a shoebox.
This is a hands-on way to bless children around the world with toys, school supplies, hygiene items and fun gifts.
These boxes are distributed in the name of Jesus to children living in vulnerable situations.
