We are so blessed

Cincinnati is a town that usually has failry mild winters. Infact our winter has been so mild up to now, people were out exercising Walking , Jumping JacksJumping Ropeeven without their coats. We have had a couple days that made you want to shiver Snowstormbut with February right around the corner we need to get winter out of our systen. Get a little Sleddingand Skiingand make a few snow angels in the snow Snow Angel . And even if we don't like it, or want it, we need to get a little exercise by doing our share of shoveling of the white stuff Shoveling Snow. Then when March comes we can be asured that the winter has had it's fill and Spirng can spring into action.

Ah, Spring. Sounds nice. Today we got up to a tempature of 12 degree. Do we have room to complain, NO. Some people are dealing the worry of how they are going to pay to keep their homes warm. And still others have had frozen water pipes for three weeks now. I can't even wrap my mind around not having water for ONE week, let alone Three.

Bless us Lord. Forgive us when we complain. For without the differences in the weather and seasons, life wouldn't be near as interesting. With the changes in the seasons we are blessed to witness God's hand at work. Help those who have money woe about the rising cost of fuel to heat their homes. Help them to find a way. Help us to count our belssing each day and remember the mericles of good health, the beauty of a rose, the birth of a child, the healing of a sick man. God, we know you walk with us even when we complain and you believe in us even when we stop believing in ourselves.

God is so good. We are so blessed.

I can't imagine not having water when I need it, period, not even for one hour. I feel so sorry for people who are losing power and heat and water during this winter. We've been blessed out here in western Colorado. It's just cold! But everything is working.

Boy, what a smiley, busy, happy post! Cute, cute.
