Gratitude Gifts

As this month ends and the days of spring go by, there are still surprises everyday.  The weather has been so warm and sunny - and then on Saturday night we had frost!  It went to -4 degrees C nearby and there were a few plants that were touched and have black top leaves.  I think our fruit trees were protected and the saskatoons were finished blooming.  Most of Alberta has had frost warnings for the past 3 nights.

Even amidst life's surprises and twists and turns, His goodness is constant.  There are no surprises from Him!  Or if there are, as in the case of Mary and Joseph from our Bible study this week, He has it all figured out and we only need to trust Him.  When I think of what was asked of Mary and her response, I see myself as severely lacking in so many ways.  May I be reminded of her life often - as I count on each day!
