It's just that it doesn't help anyone to hear the constant whining all the time. And I'm pretty sure you're not one to go around spreading negativity to whoever will (or won't) listen. And you make a good point -- doing what God says. Neither Nich (who grew up in humid Houston) nor I (who grew up in tropical Africa) love this upstate NY winter weather in the slightest, nor do we fit in either, but this is where God has us for now. We don't love it, but we also feel that griping about it just shows what are hearts are like toward Him. We're learning to be fully present here, and part of that is accepting that winter comes every year. But so does spring, and I'm positive those of us who live through winter appreciate flowers, sunshine, and green so much more than those who don't.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11830398297390048913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37198543.post-1865275986814438822011-02-01T08:47:16.083-06:002011-02-01T08:47:16.083-06:00OK, I am one of those "winter complainers.&qu...OK, I am one of those "winter complainers." And I would absolutely love to move someplace warmer---think the Caribbean, where we could do the aquaponics things without a greenhouse and the astronomical expense of heating the stupid thing all winter. We have a policy of doing whatever God says, and therein lies the problem. He is not cooperating with my "let's move somewhere warm" program. He has not said to move anywhere at all, in fact (yet). So we are very much here, even though neither of us feel like we fit. Oh well...God promised that the seasons would change, as long as the earth endures. I'm banking on that---both in the natural world and otherwise :)Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13654873620449614286noreply@blogger.com
