Gratitude Gifts Today

It's another Monday but winter has come back with more snow, blowing winds and poor driving conditions - again.  It feels like winter has been so long and the sun has been hidden so much lately.  But I am reminded that He works even when the snow is deep, the trees are empty and the ground is frozen. This is the season of resting in Him and trusting Him in everything.  Spring and new life will come - He assures me of that.



So I count on - noticing in small things just how much He gives every. single. day.
