Does it feel like winter in your heart?
Are you asking the question: “Is love alive?”?
You might like the following video and song I found.
The meaning reminds me of the last part of Bette Midler’s song “The Rose”.
Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleedSome say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you its only seedIt’s the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It’s the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance
It’s the one who won’t be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dying that never learns to liveWhen the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun’s love
in the spring
becomes the rose
I found this video at a blog called Storybook Woods. This was my first visit there, and it looks very good. Lots of homemaking tips and craft ideas. Her blog is very artistic and beautiful. And it sounds like she has written a book. I haven’t read it, so I can’t recommend it, but you might want to check it out!
Update:
I’ve read the first chapter, and I feel sure that Wren Bay is a wonderful book.
Check out this promo video that Clarice’s daughter put together for it:








"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller







Thank you so much Penny and thank you for mentioning my novel. Blessings Clarice
You’re welcome. I plan to check it out myself. I just don’t want to recommend something that I really know nothing about – yet! I love your blog!
