Two day with temperatures in the 70s, then this morning, we awake to a winter wonderland! Several inches of snow and it is still falling. Our World is fresh and white. Luckily our trees have not fully leafed out, so there should be little damage. But the boots, which had been put away, must be retrieved and worn today. And a coat and mittens will be needed as well. The moisture will allow the grass to be very green, once it is again visible. Weather and life, they change from day to day, moment to moment. We need to take it as it comes and refrain from complaining. There is always a silver lining to every cloud if we are patient and wait for it to be discovered. Illness and accidents have brought pain and heartache to several in our community this week, reminding us to reserve our complaints for the truly important woes. So we view the snow as needed moisture, even though it needs to be shoveled or swept. And we say a prayer in gratitude that we are able to do so, even as we pray for those who are incapacitated.
