Today was the kind of day that reminds me WHY we live here ... the morning was chilly and crisp ... and the afternoon was Divinely warm with a nice breeze ... sky was blue and the mountains were singing.
I am grateful to have lived in California and growing up in Seal Beach was an amazing blessing ... but when it is sunny and warm everyday or nearly everyday ... you tend to not think twice about and take it for granted.
Having 4 true seasons here when you have a day like today, you are so thankful for the warm sunshine, the trees starting to bloom and the crisp morning air. I love that our backyard is landscaped now and I have a lilac that will bloom in a month or so ... I love that tomorrow it might possibly snow ... and that makes me that much more thankful for today and our fun bike ride to the park ... amazing that tomorrow we could be sledding. Colorado is an amazing place to live and a day like today makes my heart swell with gratitude for the beauty that abounds here.
Thank you Lord for the country I live in, thank you for my family raising me in Seal Beach, where I could spend the summers with sand between my toes. Thank you Lord for putting in on our hearts to move our family, for all you have provided and in every way met our needs as we followed You here. Thank you Lord for the sunshine today, for the warmth in the air and mountains outside my door. Thank you Lord for tomorrow and the snow that is coming ... one more chance to throw a snowball before next year. Amen.
