Trust me. I know the weather this season hasn’t been ideal. I know that it will mess up a lot of things in the upcoming seasons. I know it could make for a really challenging farming season ahead, and that touches just about every facet of our lives whether we realize it or not. I know there are many things that will suffer as a result. And I don’t pretend that isn’t important! It is!
Its been a strange weather season of ups and downs, where I’ve really enjoyed the mild while positivelhy detesting the ice cold snaps.
However.
I’m not mad that there are birds chirping in my trees.
I’m not mad that the kids are really enjoying playing in the snow in our front yard.
I’m not mad that I can open the windows of the vehicle when the sun is out in full force.
I’m not mad that I can enjoy an iced coffee and without shivering.
I’m not mad that, during a week that feels WAY too big, WAY too full, and pretty stinking overwhelming, I can drive my van without letting it run first. That kids can run outside in hoodies. That I could wear a tank top this weekend!
Somehow, this lift in weather makes things feel so much more doable. This week is busy, and the rest of the month will likely be even busier. So I am relieved to have these busy days fall during a time where I feel stronger, and more capable, and generally better than others.
Of course, my strength if not found in the weather, or even within myself, but in Christ!
And in boost, when I need a little extra 😅
Thank you, Lord, for the weather this week ☀️
