The sun is shining today and the temperatures are, well, they are dang cold! We are using the fireplace, cranking up the furnace and I'm bundling up in sweats and wool socks. Hello........... Tomorrow we are getting snow again. Six to eight inches are forecast for our area. Seriously, this is so wrong. Just where has Spring gone?
I expect we all have at one time or another been looking for Spring to arrive! Spring filled with flowers and warm temperatures, and Spring filled with a change of circumstances, all of us eager to leave a winter season behind.
Our oldest daughter mentioned to me recently a time when she was in college and could not afford to go on a "Spring break". A couple of her friends came to stay with us and we decided to have our own Florida experience. It was winter, but we cranked up the heat, decorated our grandfather clock to look lie a palm tree, added a few "tropical" foods and decorations and put on summer clothes. We could not change her circumstances, but did the best to create fun and joy right where we were. Creating spring in the midst of winter.
Guess we need to do the same here in the Midwest. Keeping our joy on while dealing with yet more snow. Keeping our joy on while in the midst of unwelcome circumstances. God is in the midst of our winter seasons. He brings sunshine to our days and SONshine to our circumstances.....He reminds us that victory is ours.! We live in hope for better days. Spring is coming

I bet your decorating was fabulous. Now, let spring show up and give us another reason to thank "HIM" for all that we have. Blessing to a wonderful lady.
