Indeed! Wouldn’t you know it is above freezing on our one day of snow, though. The sun is shining, too!

Changed Perspective
As an early riser, my wife enjoys the quiet moments before the house wakes up and uses it to read the Bible and pray. Recently she settled into her favorite chair, only to be confronted by a rather messy couch left there by someone watching a football game the night before. The mess distracted her at first, and her frustration with me interrupted the warmth of the moment.
Then a thought hit her, and she moved to the couch. From there, she could look out our front windows to the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean. The beauty of the scene God painted that morning changed her perspective.
As she told me the story, we both recognized the lesson of the morning. While we cant always control the things of life that impact our day, we do have a choice. We can continue to brood over the mess, or we can change our perspective. When Paul was in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols (Acts 17:16 niv). But when he changed his perspective, he used their interest in religion as an opportunity to proclaim the true God, Jesus Christ (vv.22-23).
As my wife left for work, it was time for someone else to change his perspectivefor me to let the Lord help me to see my messes through her eyes and His.
Dear Lord, grant us the wisdom to change
our perspective rather than linger over messes.
Help us to seeand fixthe messes
we make for others.
Wisdom is seeing things from Gods perspective.
: The Areopagus (vv.19,22) was like an ancient philosophical think tank. There the wisest thinkers and philosophers of the day would assemble to wrestle with important ideas and teachings. This made it the ideal place for Paul to present the good news and teachings of Jesus.

Off to Georgia, then Myrtle Beach. Lots of driving ahead of us. Please say a prayer for our safe travels. At least it will be a little warmer. Should be back Monday late.

Good morning, Dear Friends.
I'm thankful for Mother Nature.
Fruit trees are in bloom and roses and trees are starting to bud out.
Flowers are also starting to make an appearance.
I'm looking forward to rain on our valley floor this weekend.
Had a storm come thru last weekend; Fresno go a good soaking,
but we were located on the western edge of that system and only got a light rain.
Praying we get a good rain and some additional snow pack in the Sierras.
