Greetings Dear Reader,
In response to my pondering yesterday our Wisconsin Spring saw
a few inches of snow and ice grace our mid-April morning. As I gaze out my window it looks more like
winter than spring. It is beautiful but
my social feed is filled with those bemoaning the apparent lateness of warmth
and access to outdoor activities so longed for by those who have come through
the long winter.
I try to take the approach that God never gets the weather wrong. We may not get the weather we want but the
weather we get is what we are supposed to have.
I look for the beauty in the weather that is there. The sea of ice and snow on my lawn is
lovely. It may be fleeting because
temperatures will rise before the new week is out. It is still something I can value if I choose
to see it for what it is instead of for what it is not,
Perhaps that is the life key for me that is held in the
weather. All of creation moves as it
does. I cannot control any of it. I can find beauty in it if I choose to look
for it. I can obtain a perspective that
the world unfolds as it should. I must find
the good, the beauty, and the moments of grace in that unfolding. They are always there. In finding them I can more easily see the path
to following Christ. In that there is
complete beauty no matter what the weather.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”

God is good in all things even when things are so dim. I know the weather has been effecting many people and as you said God never gets the weather wrong. But he also even if your feeling down with the weather God is still there and good and there is always a good reason. We need to look for the good. Sometimes we can't see it sometimes we have to wait to see it, but it's there.
