CHAPTER 3, PAGE 2
Oh, how I long for the time when flowers are in bloom, and for the time when all the sun's rays zoom.
When all of the winter's slush and snow are banned,
and when the birds can try their hand.
I long for a time when the grayness of winter disappears,
and then the birds' sweet songs, I hear.
The time for these things are just around the corner,
I know, but for now, the chilly winds continue to grow.
The leaves on the trees slowly flutter to the ground,
not making even the faintest whisper of a sound.
The snow blankets the frozen earth,
making people long for the the next season's birth.
But alas, the cold winter days are not yet through,
but do not despair, for the sky will soon be blue.
So until the winter days have past,
we'll have to wait out the winter,
as we have winters past.

GOOD MORNING !
In an e-mail from the Fly Lady yesterday, she said the red buds are blooming and it would be 74 degrees in Charlotte, NC. In Ohio, however, it’s in the lower 30’s and still cold….
But we are thankful to know that Spring is on it’s way! I’m beginning to feel like it’s just around the corner. I’m looking forward to wearing lighter clothing and longer daylight hours.
On my list for Lent ….
Give up complaining——focus on gratitude
I almost complained, but didn’t – did I???
***BIG SMILE***
I HOPE you all are blessed with a few smiles and a little sunshine to warm your heart!

Thought For Today--
Hope is that thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings
the tune without the words
and never stops... at all.

Yes, this month the clocks change and the evenings will be lighter. I am sure we will all benefit from more lights. Too cold yet so say Spring is on the way but it cannot be far off

We are having snow today again. Sandra
Good one to give up. Hmmm. I'm trying to think if I complain to much. LOL! : )

Praising the Lord for you today!

A beautiful entry. Without hope there is no future, and without winter there would be no spring.
