We. are. waiting. for spring!! We get a short teaser for spring every now and then; the next day it snows again. Yikes! Anyways, I'm overly anxious for spring (like many people are) but am still finding the blessings He's bestowing upon me during this time of anticipation and wait. For example, this past weekend I as able to connect with so many people for short lunch/coffee/dinner dates and it was such a rewarding time for me.
I was fortunate enough to have been able to eat supper with my family on Friday for my mom's birthday. What a blessing to be with them. Saturday morning I was able to connect with a great aunt of mine (my past grandma's sister) for a bunch date. She is a beautiful woman of God and it was so enjoyable to sit and visit with her for a few of my Saturday hours. That evening I spent time with a good friend watching basketball and chatting about life's happenings. Sunday included church, coffee date with a few high school friends and a lovely supper with some grandparents. I didn't accomplish much in terms of my 'to-do' list items; however, I ended the weekend with a great sense of peace and contentment. It fills my heart to connect, reconnect and be in relationship with so many wonderful people.
Long story, short... the weather wasn't great. I want spring. BUT I'm thankful for the relationships I have and I am so thankful to be given the time to maintain and invest in the people that surround me.
-Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-- and all the more as you see the Day approaching.- --Hebrews 10:25
