The coldest day we have had in weeks, if not months. Sub-zero temperatures. Yet, Mom has an eye doctor appointment. So many reasons I love and adore my Mother. One major reason is her spirituality. She views every day as Lent. She has this outlook on life that God is with us every step of the way, even when in our human eyes and mind, we do not see or believe it. She sees God in everything and everyone (even the most annoying!).
The snow, off and on for much of Sunday. It stopped for a little while and then continued again starting around 2am. Then Monday morning, the world awakens to a cold, yet sunny February day! As we drive along a residential street, Mom rejoices and thanks Jesus for his beautiful artwork. The tree lawn trees are covered with a light dusting of white snow. It does look like a breathless Norman Rockwell painting.
While others traveling on their way to work may be cursing the slushy roads, the slow drivers, and the bitter cold temperatures, leave it to Mom to look up to the Heavens and thank God for his beautiful gift in the form of natural art.
I can always count on Mom to ground me and bring me back from despair, or negativity, or focus me to the important things in life.
Today, try and see life or the world through God's eyes.
