There is a lot of talk about the weather these days.
It’s supposed to be spring, but
there is snow, ice, heat, and rain from coast to coast. Each state is
experiencing their own “spring” weather, and some cities, like mine, are
experiencing all four seasons in one day. The funny thing is how we expect
spring to invite warm weather. Of course, it usually does, but Mother Nature is
showing us that she can do what she wants, when she wants and how. She can also
change her mind mid day without explanation. The key is to be grateful for
another day regardless of the weather.
The weather is similar to life – as it
changes, we have to just go with the flow. Weather is unpredictable, and so is
life, so unless we learn to adapt and adjust, we’ll live a miserable and
frustrated life. Father Time and Mother Nature work together; and our only job
in their process, is to be content in whatever season of life we’re in. Yes, the
calendar says it’s spring, yet someone is going through a storm, someone else
may be experiencing the happiest day of their life, someone else is grieving,
someone is sick, someone’s health has been restored, someone is being born, and
someone is dying.
Life happens, and the best way to enjoy it is to not expect a
sunny day everyday, but be grateful for each and every day. We set ourselves up
for disappointment by looking for the sun. The rain is needed on Earth and in our lives, and aren’t we more
grateful for the sunny days after the rain has left? It all works together. This
spring weather may not make any sense to us, but it makes perfect sense to the
One who creates it. Have a marvelous spring day!
