Closing Thoughts
This Crazy Weather!!!
It sure is easy to complain about the weather right now. However, I challenge you to be grateful for whatever God sends our way. This morning I was driving behind a car that had a dog perched on the passenger's window. That dog appeared to be enjoying the wind and the chilly temperatures. He appeared to be loving every minute of the journey. I thought to myself that I need to be more like that dog. Grateful for the wind, grateful for the chilly temperatures. That dog was enjoying the simple pleasures of life that I so often overlook. I plan to have a carefree weekend, not taking anything too seriously, and enjoying the snow! I hope you enjoy your weekend, too.
