Much like a friend coming to the door asking if little Johnny can come out to play, I thought this bicycle waited patiently for it's little friend to come out and ride it. I am much like this bike waiting patiently for Spring to arrive. This is the home stretch now. I know March can be brutal but it is only one month and then the yellow of the Forsythias will peak and I yell and jump for joy! I have learned to be tolerable and grateful this winter. We have had terrible snow storms and one that broke a 100 year old record. Not very fond of snow, this winter, however was different. The earthquake in Haiti put things in perspective for me and I knew that I better be grateful for all I have. Yes, even the snow! I know that at any moment any of the Haitian people going through this devatation would trade places with me. Thinking that 200 thousand people lost their lives and thinking about all the orphans and people that lost all their families, snow was a piece of cake for me to endure.
I could be inconvenience with snow but at least I had a roof over my head and food on my table. I have friends and family and for that I am most grateful. God puts things in perspective for me and I learned a valuable lesson, one that I am most grateful for.
