No Matter What May Come

The past few days have been beautiful! Not to cold; not to hot. It’s been about 68 degrees with a nice breeze. Flowers are beginning to bloom. Perfect weather for a hoodie, shorts and flip flops! 
I am lovin’ it!!

Just last week school was called off because of flooding. It had rained so hard for 3 or 4 days that the ground was just saturated. It literally could not hold or absorb any more water. In fact, when I stepped out in the yard water would come up over my shoe from the ground. But, within 24 hours the water had receded in some places yet other areas still looked like a lake existed in that spot. Those “lakes” on normal occasions would be a field.

Even with this recent change in the weather, looking back over the past couple weeks, it’s been a little crazy. (Not me, the weather) Ha!

A few weeks ago we were buried beneath ice and snow….a LOT of it!!

I’m not sure where you live or what type of winter weather normally hits your area, but here in southern Indiana it seemed like we were under ice and snow f-o-r-e-v-e-r! Everyone had a case of cabin fever…..especially the parents with kiddo’s who couldn’t go back to school after their Christmas break. (Thank you, God, for Tyler being way beyond school age!)

Here’s my question.

Did you complain about the weather?
*when we had all the ice and snow?
*when we were being drenched with thunderstorms?
*when we had sunny skies the past couple days?

This is the Lord’s doing. It is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!! (Psalm 118:23-24)

No matter what may come.

Blessings,
Bo
