Isaiah 55:10
Snow! Snow! Snow! is the common word you hear in just about every conversation as of late. We have certainly had an abundance of snow. As one of your Sunday School members was leaving class this past Sunday, Paul asked him if he had big plans for the week. His response was "probably shoveling snow." Our sidewalk has become a narrow path with snow piled high on each side.
The sidewalk outside our front door before the last snow.
Just Monday night we received another 4" of snow, and we were contemplating how we were going to remove it from the sidewalk and driveway since neither of us is supposed to shovel snow with our recent knee and cataract surgeries. On Tuesday morning Paul heard a snow blower running shortly after he got up and commented that our neighbor, Bruce, was up early blowing out his driveway. A few minutes later Gail put something in the garage, and when she came back in, she said, "There is someone right out side our garage door running a snow blower." Paul opened the garage door and there was a friend from Tecumseh, clearing our drive and ended up shoveling our sidewalk. What a surprise and blessing!
Spring is still a little over a month away, but everyone seems to be eager to see spring come with green grass, blossoms on the trees, and the daffodils sticking their yellow heads up as one of the first sights of spring. Even though we have had some beautiful snows, an early spring would be a welcome sight to almost everyone, except the people who make their money plowing snow.
After winter comes spring!!!
We are thankful for a God who controls the seasons and know that spring will come. We are not in Narnia where it is always winter and never Christmas. Spring will come and the snows that we have had will water the earth and will help to provide nitrogen for the ground as well.
Blessings and Encouragement,
Paul, Gail, Patsy and Penny
