The Big Freeze: Promise, Purpose & the Thaw
From the frozen winter of 1963 to today’s spiritual “bleak midwinter,” this reflection weaves poetry, memory, and faith. Like Narnia’s endless winter, our culture can feel cold and distant from truth—but God’s promise still stands. Christina Rossetti reminds us that the greatest gift we can give is our heart, while Robert Frost points us to promises yet to be kept and miles still to go.
When we give God our heart, His purpose becomes our purpose—and through faithful living, love, and obedience, we can help bring the thaw.
