This morning Timmy and I went to school on snow covered road-but the blizzards are for now-at bay. The sun managed to push the clouds away and send it's rays down to give a sparkle and a lift to the snow capped trees. It lifted my spirit as well. There is something so hopeful in the rays of the sun. You cannot take a moment of sunshine for granted during a Michigan WInter. It begs us to savory the moment, it teases us to think ahead to the warm spring, but most of all it makes us lift our head skyward.I remember Timmy asking me if God was the the sun.....I guess since he there in all things-he is indeed there. So I guess I saw God today-or as a better way of explaining it-I felt for a moment that innate promise that lies beyond every winter. Under the cool blanket of snow lies life---just waiting.
So as Timmy works on his homework I am allowed a brief moment to recall that I would not treasure Spring so much-if not for winter. Tomorrow a new president-a new day perhaps new hope for better days ahead.
