Unpredictable Weather...Got to love it!

I love Spring!  I have said it before, and I will say it again...I love Spring!  This time of year, we see that God is ultimately in control.  Out of the bleak days of winter, flowers and trees begin to bloom with the colors and beauty that are divine.  I am amazed at how each plant, seed, tree and shrub knows just when to show its colors or send up a new sprout.  Last week in Sunday School, my class learned about casting our cares on God, and that he will never allow us to go without.  Just like the birds of the air that are always looking for their next meal, or the lilies of the field that are never without clothes, so we too are not to worry.




Daffidols blooming...must be spring!




Knocked down by the rain, they will spring back up shortly!


God also shows us that he is in control of weather and weather patterns.  Yesterday, we enjoyed a balmy day where the temperatures climbed up to nearly 80 degrees. The weather man predicted that we would have storms around dark, and that they might be severe. Well, guess what, the storms didn't make it here until early this morning, and other than a few rumbles of thunder, we just had heavy showers. We have already reached the high today, and it is predicted to get colder as the day goes on.  I love a good thunderstorm, and am amazed at the power of the wind.  I know that this sounds crazy, but even in the midst of weather events, we see the love of God in the aftermath.  In times like these, everyone is helping out their neighbor, trying to piece back their lives.  Many times it takes a dramatic situation to bring people closer together.

Just as quick as the sky darkens and the clouds roll in, they roll back out, and give way to the sun.  So today, as you see the sun shining down on your path, remember that God is ultimately in control of all things, and if we cast our worries on him, he will bear the burden for us.

Until next time, keep adventuring and looking for joy in the little details of life!
