Spring Fever and Faith

Hi blog...

I'm probably the only one who reads my stuff so I'll' just write to the blog!

It is fast approaching spring and it is raining cats and dogs outside... An ambulance and fire truck are going by while I write... all in all though it is a really good day. the Ambulance isn't going after me and the fire isn't at my house. Now don't think I don't care about others and their problems, I am just very grateful that this time it isn't me!

The old stuff about 'spring fever' is more real to me than it ever was when I was young. I thought it was a joke until I passed 55 or 60 years old and then it hit me... there really is such a thing as spring fever!! I haven't done anything to amount to much and I have slept my 5 hours, yet I am still lethargic!

I wonder whee the line is drawn between lethargy from spring fever and pure laziness? Maybe it is just an excuse! I don't guess it matters, I've got it anyway.

You know what? I am so glad that when the Lord gave them the disciple's prayer He said to pray this way, "Our Father which art in Heaven..." I think the reason he said the "..in Heaven..." part was to remind us that He isn't affected by weather, economy, seasons, sickness, failure, decay, destruction, and on and on... you get the point! He is removed from the influence of the things which influence us so dramatically!

Our day can be ruined by a flat tire in the rain, or someone cutting us off or getting our parking place close to the building. His is only affected when after all He has done to keep us at a peak, our victory is lost and our faith fails! How does it make me feel to know that my lack of faith can affect the Creator's day?? OR, how does it make me feel to know that my abiding faith in Him can "make His day.."?? WOW!!!

I think I will just have faith!!!
