WON'T BE LONG NOW!

WON'T BE AS LONG AS IT HAS BEEN

WE'LL BE SEEING THE FLOWERS PEEP THROUGH... BUT HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE SEEING THEM PEEP THROUGH THE SOIL AND GRASS, (NOT SNOW!)

WASN'T TODAY A GOOD LITTLE BREAK (IN THE TEMPERATURE?) WE NEEDED THAT AND TO SEE THE WONDERFUL SUN SHINNING! THANK YOU GOD! AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE EVEN BETTER TOMORROW. I THINK IT GOT UP TO AROUND 46 OR 47 TODAY HERE, WHICH STILL ISN'T WARM, BUT WARMER THAN IT WAS.. OH, I AM SURELY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SPRING AND SEEING LIFE RE-NEW ITSELF... GOD IS SO GOOD AND HIS PLANS ARE SO PERFECT! ISN'T IT AMAZING THAT A LITTLE CROCUS PLANT CAN PEEP RIGHT THROUGH THE SNOW AND BLOOM? I THINK IT'S GOD'S WAY OF REMINDING US THAT HE IS STILL FULLY IN CONTROL... AND I AM GRATEFUL!

I SAW TODAY THAT MY PANSY'S ON THE BACK DECK ARE STILL ALIVE! THAT IS AMAZING TO ME, THEY'VE BEEN BURIED UNDER ALL THAT SNOW FOR SO LONG AND TODAY YOU COULD SEE THE GREEN STILL IN THE STEMS AND LEAVES STILL THERE. MAKES YOU FEEL EVEN CLOSER TO HIM! I THINK HE SPEAKS TO US IN MANY WAYS, AND THAT NATURE IS ONE OF THE MAIN WAYS WE GET LITTLE REMINDERS... OR MY HEART AND SOUL SEES IT THAT WAY. AND AS MY YOUNGEST GRANDDAUGHTER 'ABBY' SAYS "I LOVE LIFE"

SPEAKING OF 'ABBY' SHE CALLED JUST MOMENTS AGO WANTING US TO COME PICK HER UP SO SHE CAN SPEND THE NIGHT TONIGHT AND GO TO CHURCH WITH US TOMORROW. SHE'S PRECIOUS, THEY ALL ARE, AND WE THANK GOD EVERY DAY FOR THEM AND THEIR HEALTH, SAFETY, HAPPINESS, AND HOW VERY LOVING AND WELL ADJUSTED AND SMART THEY ARE. THEY ARE ALL TRULY BLESSINGS.

WELL, WE'VE GOT TO GO SO WE CAN PICK HER UP... SO UNTIL TOMORROW...

Psalm 19:14 LET THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH, AND THE MEDITATIONS OF MY HEART BE ACCEPTABLE TO YOU, O LORD, MY STRENGTH, MY REDEEMER, (AMEN).

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS!
