Spring?????

This is the start of the second full day of spring and we have snow on the ground!  What?  It just goes to prove we are not in control.  God is God and we are not.  It is so beautiful.  It makes everything look so clean and perfect, and yet this does not even come close to Heaven!  Wow how grand it will be.  I am so ready for spring with all the beautiful flowers and the warm sunshine, but God knows best.  I will try to enjoy this while it is here.  I am trying very hard to count the many blessings that God gives us, me on a daily basis.  So I will take the dogs out and watch them play as well as throw some snow balls for them and take pics.  I will enjoy a cup or two of hot chocolate while I sit and watch the snow fall.  I will have to purposefully write down the blessings I see today.  What about you?  What are you thankful for?  Can you find the blessings in the midst of your storm?  Or maybe you are not in a storm now so you are not so much focused on the blessings because things are good now.  What can you purposefully find even in the good times, that maybe you are letting pass by without even a whisper of thanks for the wonder and beauty?  Gratitude makes the heart healthy.  If I stay in an attitude of gratitude I will not focus on the negative or the hurts.  Then in return I will not get depressed or anxious about things.  Just a few thoughts for this wonderful snowy spring day!  God bless.
