Why you should WISH March to be COLD and SNOWY

Let's be honest, it's been a brutal winter. We have set records for snow and for cold.

I am deciding to "heat" things up (pun intended) and try to explain to you why we should wish for the month of March to be just as cold and snowy as the rest of this winter. I know, it's a long shot.

Top Ten Reasons Why You Should Wish March To Be as Cold and Snowy as the Rest of the Winter:

1. Teaches us to accept what the Lord gives us when we ask! (Remember a summer or so ago when it was hot and dry and everyone was praying for precipitation and cooler temperatures. We got it!)
2. Patience needs to be learned not told!
3. Quiets any Al Gore global warming supporters.
4. Gives me an excuse to cuddle more with my wife. (If I needed any help! :)
5. Snow is beautiful and is a great reminder of the cleansing power of Jesus!
6. For the first time in awhile students actually want to go to school. They have more will power to brave the elements to finish the school year strong.
7. The Bible says "to do everything without complaining and arguing." God is giving us practice!
8.  Snow looks a lot like Sown. A good winter helps farmers in the spring, ask any farmer. You can't have sown without snow!
9. Winter brings out manly competition and motivation to prove one's valor (i.e. No Shave Months, Snowmobiling, Four Wheel Drive in order to get to church, etc.)
10. In the end we got to take what we get.......it's easier when you enjoy it!

I know I am going to hear a lot of blow back from this post by people stating how advantageous spring would be. Believe me I know that warmer weather, fishing, shorts and T-shirts, and baseball is around the corner. My point is, enjoy every moment and season of life no matter how long and harsh it may be! Take time to thank God instead of constantly looking forward to what's ahead that you forget to enjoy the blessings that God has bestowed on the here and now.
