Winter Anyone?
|
It's been snowing all morning. Nothing new for Indiana...unless you consider that it's mid-April! Enough of Old Man Winter already! What happened to spring? We got a little taste of the sun and the warmth of a welcoming front porch - and now....winter again. Easter egg hunts indoor, coats, heaters - winter is revisited again. The first year that we lived here it snowed into May. But, we've been spoiled the last few years and they have been warmer than usual for Indiana. I love winter and I love snow....but, ya know, I love spring too! I'm ready for it's return. Apparently, that won't happen anytime this week...maybe not even next week. Well, what do we teach our children? Enjoy what you have while you have it. Live in the moment. Live! So, I suppose I should practice what I'm preaching. I'm going to get some laundry in the wash and do some language arts with the kids, and maybe, make some hot chocolate and pretend that it's December. Somewhere around August we'll be yearning for the quiet beauty of snow again. And, even in April, it is serene and calming and nature at it's purest. This is the day that the Lord has made.....I will rejoice and be glad in it. |
