I saw clouds, grey skies and wet, white grass. White. Because it was snowing the kind of thick, wet flakes that don't stick on the roads but on the grass.
And I rolled my eyes and said "so much for Spring".
It seems to take a long time getting here this year in eastern New York.
I know we need the moisture but not seeing full sunshine for days on end gets downright dreary. At least in my opinion.
However, it reminded me of the Scripture that I've been reading throughout the week and meditating on. It's from Psalm 5. I've posted part of it in the image above.
What I've been reading is:
"Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. Give heed to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I will pray. My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord, in the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up." ~Psalm 5: 1-3~
and then this last part of verse 11:
"let those also who love Your name be joyful in You."
I can't help but think how we have our plans but God directs our steps. How things change on a whim sometimes it seems. Like Spring weather in the Northeast.
I'm glad and thankful that God doesn't change.
He always hears us.
He's always there.
He's always listening to our cries, our complaints, our confessions.
He always loves.
Look up to Him.....lift up your voice to Him and He will guide you, answer you, and surround you with His loving Presence.

I like Psalm 5. I learned those verse from listening to a song from Maranatha Music. We had warm weather all week and now it is going back down to the 60's. But should be sunny for Easter. Happy Sunday!
I can remember that first year we moved back to NY, and it snowed up to Memorial Day, sigh. Wishing you a beautiful Holy Week my friend.
