Wow has it been cold this week! Just when we thought we'd escaped winter...WHAP! It smacks us in the face....sigh...but there is hope! The sun is so warm when it smiles down on us that even the snow must depart...praise God!

Have you ever just stopped and thought for a moment how awesome our God is? He hung the brilliant sun in the sky so that it could help things grow, keep us warm...even help our bodies produce Vitamin D. Then, there is the ocean...held back from flooding the earth by the gravitational pull of the moon. Also, the awesome power of life....He breathed life into dust and while doing so made sure that the life He'd breathed into could also in turn create life! Truly our God is an awesome God. Then, even when we turned around and disobeyed Him...he made a way for us to be with Him. Just stop for a minute today and think about that! Tell Him THANK YOU....thank you Lord, Abba, Father for all your amazing gifts to such an ungrateful and doubting world....thank you for loving me!

Have you all been following the Presidential race? It worries me so...truly. There are NO candidates I want to vote for and yet I must vote...as should we all. Who will I vote for? Only through prayer, trust in God and research can I come up with my vote. Even when all hope for our country seems lost and dismal I know He has a plan for us and whatever that plan is it's for our good eventually and He IS in control. So, take heart and have faith. Maybe put this verse where you can see it if this is something that worries you too...{Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.} I know that is what I will do...I love putting verses to help me through a learning process or a lesson or a worry out around my home where I can see them in my every day activities.

On another note, it's Saturday! I think in spite of the chill out there I will work in my greenhouse today....plant some more cool weather crops. I would normally have tomatoes and peppers and so many other things all going out there right now but I may have an upcoming surgery this year that will limit my gardening activities so for now I content myself with what I know I can handle. What about you? What do you want to do today? What do you look forward to in order to get you through the winter?

Well, that's all folks! Have a wonderful week and I'll be talking to you next Saturday...God Bless!
