Wow!\u00a0 We had an icy rain and snow and oh my it was gorgeous around here.\u00a0 It\u2019s so nice to be inside and warm when it\u2019s so cold out!\u00a0 We know we have months more of winter, but spring will come.\u00a0 We have hope.\u00a0 We are thankful for blessings when so many are facing health and financial problems.\u00a0 \u00a0We just volunteered at a food pantry this morning and heard that there has not been a marked increase in people needing help there during this Covid era, so for that we are thankful, that our county isn’t as hard hit as some.\u00a0 We are praying for mercy for this world of ours with so many mourning and so many struggling with Covid and its far reaching effects into people’s livelihoods.\u00a0 We have hope that God will hear our prayers and that we will come out of this, that the winter will end and spring will come.<\/p>\n
