Brrrrrrr !!!!!!

Seems like I recall a time or two back in July and August that I wished for some cooler weather. You know what I'm saying, back when the sweat was running down and the ticks were climbing up to see where it was coming from. Well, I knew then that I would regret that thought sooner or later. The temp. has not gotten up to 50 yet and it is 2pm. And this is only the beginning.
The weatherman is predicting our first hard freeze of the year by the first of the week. But of course there is always a brighter side to everything that comes our way. I can think of a couple of things like, no more grass to mow, and no more ticks. No more garden to tend, no more yellow jackets hiding in the bushes. I could go on and on but that gives the general idea. All we have to do now is wait for the inevitable ice and snow to start. I can hardly wait for the freezing to start so I can break out the tank heater for the stock tank, dig out the snow shovels, winterize the vehicles and all that other fun stuff that goes with it. By the time we get all that done, I will no doubt be saying "I sure would like to see some warmer weather", and the whole thing starts all over again.
I guess we should just learn to do as the apostle Paul said, and be content with whatever situation we find ourselves in. That is a great idea, and I know the Bible is right, but, sometimes it sure is hard to do. If mankind had grasped that concept from the beginning, we'd all still be living in the Garden of Eden. I heard a preacher say once that we should learn to be humbly grateful instead of grumbly hateful. Makes sense to me !
