Thawing out

Today you can feel spring on the way; you can see it in every drip off the roof and in the buds forming on all the trees and bushes. I'm sure we will be seeing spring flowers on their way up as the snow disappears. I love this time of year. I love watching the land wake up after a long nap. I love the sun and how it it warms me inside and out, as well as the way it calls the flowers and plants into existence. The sun has been out almost all week. It can be VERY bright with the white snow on the ground. Blinding, in fact. However, it hadn't been warm enough yet for the snow to melt yet until today. I can't tell you what the temp is out because my temp sensor is still under the snow (it has read 29 degrees for two weeks), but I can tell you that when you go outside you don't need a hat or gloves and could probably go with your coat open. With as cold as it has been, that could mean that it is only 40 degrees .... just checked weather.com. The high was 41 degrees - warm enough! Thank you, God!

Psalm 19: 1-6

The heavens declare the glory of God;

the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Day after day they pour forth speech;

night after night they display their knowledge.

There is no speech or language

where their voice is not heard.

Their voice goes out into all the earth,

their words to the ends of the world.

In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,

which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavillion,

like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

It rises at one end of the heavens

and makes its circuit to the other;

nothing is hidden from its heat.
