If you have ever lived in a place with harsh winters, you know that the coming spring is welcome with great anticipation. In some places, winter can last for around half the year, with bitter cold, snow, and dead vegetation. However, when winter is fading away the crocus appears. Even during an early spring snowstorm, this flower will still bloom. It is a sign of winter ending and spring beginning, even when there is still snow on the ground. Read more about the crocus. Circumstances might seem impossible at times, but faith is what moves us to believe God’s promises to ultimately work for good for his own (Romans 8:28– 29).
