Please Lord--Bring us Warm Weather!

Got all ready to head up to help Kathleen paint.  Walked out to the pickup and stopped dead in my tracks!   The wind that howled all night brought another day of road closure!  Shoveling is out of the question, the drifts are hard packed and there are three big banks of snow on the drive!  

Its kind of like the times we are in, as our legislature introduces bills this legislative session on whether or not to inform parents of their children getting an abortion, and, also, the bills on physician assisted suicide and the suicide predator bill.   Death has got to be the winter of our lives.

Thank God for His great love that there will be a new life for us--the promised life of a new Heaven and a new earth!  No pain, no tears, no death!  The Lord Himself will be with us and be our light.  Lord come soon!  How do those babies endure the terrible, terrible pain of being killed in the womb?  How do the elderly endure the grief of hearing loved ones and trusted medical care tell them they can end their life, to drink the potion.

So much misery, pain and suffering that is done in the name of compassion.  Lord Come Soon!

God is With Us

The dogs started barking and as I walked past the front door, a vehicular shape beside the pickup, caught my eye.  Looking out I saw a bobcat clearing the drive.  Yahoo!!   Grabbing coat and gloves, I ran outside. 

What a beautiful site to see all the snow getting blown out into the yard!  Hagan Construction was imprinted on the cab of the bobcat. It is the construction company that is building a house down the road.

The driver stopped and jumped out.  A wonderful young man then helped me pull the pickup out of the snow bank and then finished clearing the roadway!     I offered to pay him, but he said no.  He just wanted to help.  He must have been an angel sent by the Lord!  Thank you, Lord.

Tomorrow I will go to town and have the pickup checked out and oil changed.  Life is good.

Day Two

New Year's Day sales were fantastic.   Super buys found were a dog bed and a kitty bed for $10/ea!!!  Also, did other shopping...I forgot how much fun it is to hit sales!  I also forgot how quickly those dollars add up. 

Heading home--a southwest wind was blowing across the prairie, drifting in the roads.  The pickup was bouncing through the drifts, as though we were riding on waves.  Then, while coming up the drive at home, I high-centered, and there I sat in my little pickup, going no-where. 

Today was spent shoveling and digging out snow! Still stuck, but I did make headway.

The Lord must have heard my New Years resolution to start exercising!  He also knows how I procrastinate--so...day two and already exercising!   Thank you, Lord.
