The legend of the raindrop
Has a lesson for us all
As it trembled in the the Heavens
Questioning if it should fall
For the glistening raindrop argued
By the genie of the sky
I am beautiful and lovely
As a sparkle here on high
And hanging here I will become
Part of the rainbow's hue
And I'll shimmer like a diamond
For all the world to view
But the genie told the raindrop
"Why do you hesitate to go?"
For you will be more beautiful
If you fall to earth below
For you will sink in the soil
And be at lost awhile from sight
But when you reappear on earth
You will be looked upon with delight
For you will be the raindrop
That quenched the thirsty ground
And helped the lovely flowers
To blossom all around
And in your resurrection
You'll appear in queenly clothes
With the beauty of the sky
And the fragrance of the rose
For there is nothing lost
Or eternally neglected
For everything God ever made
Is always resurrected
So trust God's all wise wisdom
And doubt the Father never
For in His Heavenly Kingdom
There is nothing lost forever

GOOD MORNING !
Our weather did take a turn for the good on Sunday and we missed out on the terrible ice storm that many others got. Thank the good Lord. By the time I left for Church it was quite nice out. I got my shopping done too !
As you see in the pictures above, we still have lots of snow around here. We may get a little more today, but only cosmetic coatings they say. In other words the old snow will get a new coating so it won’t look so dirty and dingy around the edges.
I saw two of my children at church and two more called yesterday afternoon to make their weekly check in. As it turned out DD and her hubby did not go on their weekend trip as her hubby had to work Saturday. That was a blessing in more ways than one.
Next weekend 5 of the 7 babes and their families will be coming in for a visit to celebrate my birthday. The other two and their families are justtoo far away to make the trip. Hopefully the weather won’t turn bad again and they’ll be able to make it. If not, we’ll just celebrate another time.
It was a quick weekend but I did get a lot done.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
When you feel dog tired at night, it may be because you've growled all day long.

So many times when we have been doing something for the Lord at church and we have not been sure if we have got it right, God has blessed us with the reassurence of his rainbow, telling us he is with us.

I am starting to see grass here, as the rain has melted some of the snow.
Your beagle is just adorable! I used to have a beagle - such nice dogs. I have a Cocker Spaniel now.
