The sun was shining earlier this morning as I looked out the window. We were getting a light, airy snowfall and as it cascaded to earth, it looked as if sparkling glitter was adorning the view. The morning sun can really make the snow appear diamond encrusted, lots and lots of them, glinting and reflecting the sun's rays.
I thought it was going to warm up this week, I guess it has, but I about froze my fingers off trying to fill all the birdfeeders out back. We are still in a deep freeze for now, I guess. It's hard for me to believe that it is also frigid in Washington D.C. To see the throngs of individuals that have made the trek to the nation's capital is mind boggling, to say the least.
I remember watching an amazing young man speak at the Democratic National convention over four years ago. I was impressed by him and what he said and also by how he said it. He was charismatic, passionate and energetic. I had a feeling that I'd be seeing him again. Today, I'll be watching this young man be sworn in as our 44th president of these United States of America.
I've always watched this ceremony, but I'm paying particular attention today, as, I believe, is the rest of the country. I'm comforted knowing that the day begins in church. Even yesterday, at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, President-elect Obama heard the senior pastor's words to him, "God has prepared you and placed you. God will not forsake you. Go forward in prayerfulness and faithfulness." I, with a God fearing nation, will continue to pray for this young man and his family. I will pray for his wisdom and discernment, for his safety and his spirit. I will continue to ask God to bless him and this nation.
I hope you have a wonderful day. Stay warm, luv, Susan
