Current Mood: Happy

I just feel like praising the Lord for this weather lately.  It always takes me back to those rare times with my mom during the winter months where we would snuggle on the couch and drink homemade chocolate and just relax and have fun talking and things would be so peaceful.  I think it was mainly the peace that I really craved more than anything else as a child. These times were so rare since our home was usually a war zone 24-7.  During the fall and winter months my dad would leave to go overseas for business and would sometimes be gone for several months at a time.  We really looked forward to these peacful times and it’s so very sad that my father had to be gone in order to have them (see my testimony for the reason why)  I love my father deeply now since I’ve learned of his own childhood and how horrible it was and I just wish he were here in the states so I could build a real relationship with him if he wanted to.  Fall is a testimony of Gods love and the beauty he created just for us to behold and enjoy. It’s just breathtaking.  Reminds me of when Jesus will come and transform us and give us brand new bodies and we’ll get to go home to be with Him forever. The word of God is so true when it says that “all of nature will testify of Him and His love for us.”  Thank you Lord for you Mercy that never fails.
