* To everything there is a season, and a time to every matter under heaven. Ecclesiates 3:1 Nothing lasts forever, so enjoy (or endure) it while you can (or must). That goes for snow, small babies, Christmas cookies, pain and heartache. Tomorrow is another day, God willing, for every one of us.
*We're not in control. Nope, certainly not us: not the local weatherman, or the anchor man or anyone in government or politics, not the doctor, not even our smartest, most trusted and organized friend; only God is in control. All the forces of nature are in His control, this knowledge brings great joy to my heart and a smile to my lips. And yes, I was reminded of all of this today while pondering a lowly chunk of snow; thanks be to God!
Life is Good!

all so true a friend once said I make plans and God smiles
I love this post and your message. So true and thankfully we are not in control.
Thank you -- I needed this message today.....
Lovely post, we are in the low 60's today and this weekend we are supposed to get a whopper of snow this weekend. I love your message! We need to give thanks in all things, not just those we like.
Hugs,

Yes, we are definitely NOT in control (thank heavens!). Our church does Bible Beach Club at a couple of local elementary schools and they happen every Thur. Most of the workers are from 'the older generation' (myself included) and there's a husband and wife team that are in their upper 70's and have worked with kids forever! He greeted us yesterday as we hopped out of the car and I said 'how ya doin?'. He said 'I'm one day closer to seeing the Lord!' He also said "I'm not rushing it but one day closer". In His timing, not ours. :-)
Always wonderful insight and wisdom to be found here. Thanks for sharing your ponderings. : )
Amen! Good word.
joy always comes in the morning....whenever that may be!
