Thawing Out in Kansas

This weekend I was in Ulysses, Kansas for a men's retreat on the coldest day of the year. The thermometer does not show the wind chill!

When I asked the men to consider ways in which they see the glory of God displayed in people, one of them grew very serious. Tears began to stream down his face as he told us his story. Where did he see God's glory displayed? In his little two year old grandson--the child of his unmarried daughter, the baby he thought he would never be able to love. The circumstances of his birth had been painful for all, but that little boy has been beautifully fashioned in the image of God to display His glory. Grandpa could finally see it, and through tears, he described the delight.

Regardless of the weather, the wind of the Spirit brings a thaw.
