What a day we have here. It got nice and springy for one week but winter had to return! It's 30F with dropping temperatures. Tonight is suppose to be 15 and tomorrow 28 with a zero windchill. We did get out a little here today but now we are staying home in the warmth, seems like the thing to do. Sometimes winter seems so long ! This was my entertainment looking out my window today. The cardinal was up in the tree looking at the squirrel like , "why are you in my birdfeeder?"

Prayers for all my brother and sisters in Ukraine and all the different places of this earth where there is suffering, So many are persecuted for their faith as well. Give them strength Lord and be the glory and the lifter of their heads. Grant them peace that goes beyond all human understanding for Your ways are not our ways Lord, nor are Your thoughts our thoughts. As Heaven is higher than the earth so are Your ways above ours and Your thoughts above ours. Like the sunflower raises it's face towards the sun may we all look to You in these troubled times. In the natural it may look dark but when the storms come You are forever with us. Help remind us that our lives are connected to something far greater than just ourselves. Brighter days are coming.
