It's the end of March. Monday was the first official day of Spring. Sunday night it snowed. It snowed all day Wednesday and until about noon today (Thursday). Not exactly how I hoped that Spring would start, but we gotta take what we get, right? And to be honest, it's absolutely beautiful outside. The fresh snow makes everything look so clean and bright. The trees are covered. And as I write this, the sun is shining, the sky is blue and everything looks amazing.
But I'll admit that when I woke up Monday morning and had to shovel, my first response was to complain and grumble and be upset that it was snowing on the first day of Spring. However, I very quickly remembered all the suffering people around the world and all the turmoil that is going on and that shut me up right away. A few inches of snow might be annoying, but it's nothing compared to what the people in Japan are dealing with after a massive earthquake and tsunami. And there aren't missiles falling from the sky in my backyard like there are in Libya.
So as I look out the window at the freshly fallen snow, I'm thankful for where I live. I'm thankful for a lot of things. And I'm reminded that there are people that need so much prayer and support right now to get through every day.
