Winter's Hanging ON

       I am struggling this winter and it has been a while since winter seemed so long to me.
For some reason I can't get past feeling tired and blah and like I am fighting some health issues every couple days. This does not make for a nice winter. Recently I ordered one of those light boxes to try and give me a boost and it does help, but the health is in need of a boost as well. What I would love is a nice long walk in the woods and to sit by the stream and listen to the sounds of it while watching the little water skippers going across the top of it. But for now I am stuck inside unless I want to snow machine to the back woods and ride through the woods. I will be doing that with my husband this weekend as we got snow enough this week to allow for this . Yaya!!
   I cannot wait for it to warm up enough, above the current below zero mark, so I can snow shoe to the back fields and really get a fresh air work out. Right now I am feeling a lift just thinking about all this outside activity and what a blessing. My hens are waiting impatiently for their freedom too, and for the bugs to return along with the grass. Free range is the song I hear them singing these days.
    The other day I went to collect eggs. When I am there I talk, yes talk, to them and pet them in the nest boxes. This one hen , I call all my hens Henny-Penny , and my rooster is Mr. Cockadoodledoo, yes, silly but true. so Henny-Penny she was all happy and sitting on an egg and I  was chatting away telling her what a good girl she was and thanking her for her egg, all the while I am petting her and she enjoying it. Then she lifts up and as she does she lays an egg right there in front of me. I was amazed !!! The egg she was on was not her own obviously and I got to see her lay her egg which was a nice thing for me.
   So winter is long and I am weary of it but I manage to find distractions and things to be thankful
For. Now if I could get my body to be thankful and back to a balance in this last month or two, we never know Here in Vermont , it would be a blessing for me . I hope you are getting a good season where ever you live .
  Matthew 11:28  " Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Lord Jesus , I am weary of winter and my health is not happy . I lift this weariness to you and I ask for any one reading this blog post who may be in the same place I am, or worse, Lord to be blessed with your strength and healing . I pray for warmth in spirit that you alone can deliver that lasts and gets us through . Thank you Jesus for hearing and answering this prayer. In Jesus we pray amen.
