sea of bliss... or not..

Tundra...an expanse of white bliss... endless sea of snow and ice...
much like sand.. like a desert... forever it would seem, but really it isn't so..
the wind moving it to and fro
creating drifts...
hiding your footprints.. making you lose your way...
sometimes our walk in Christ can be depicted this way..
Bunyan wrote of moments like this.. as did Hurnard in her book..
stretches of time... that felt as though they stretched you..
beyond what you could imagine..
They are good for the soul
good for making one holy
good giving one scope for the imagination
good for showing one where one's HOPE ought to lie...
but... thankfully..
the snow... is melting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's hope its MORE than just a literal translation :)
