Where is spring?

I was wondering if anyone could please tell me where spring is? I know the calendar says it is officially spring but after another four inches of snow, I am seriously beginning to wonder if we are ever going to thaw out. I know that I live in Michigan and I should expect snow. But it is almost April people. This winter seems so long to me. The kids are begging to go outside to play and I am ready for them to go out to play. I am ready to start spring cleaning and to open the windows to allow fresh air in. I am ready for sunny days. The kids are ready too. They ask every day if it is hot or cold. When I say cold and they need to wear long sleeves and pants, they ask if it is ever going to warm up so they can wear shorts and tee shirts. I tell them it will as God's light (sun) is on longer and longer each day. I know that on Memorial Day it can either be 90 degrees or it can be 40 degrees. It doesn't help that Easter was so early this year. On Good Friday we had 6 inches of snow. It was gone by Tuesday. At least the snow is disappearing quickly these days when it does come.

Okay, enough complaining. I am very blessed in the fact that I have a roof over my head, food on my table consistently and a nice vehicle to drive and clothes for my family. Many families in this area of Michigan are struggling right now to have a roof over their families heads. Many families don't have enough food. The auto industry that supports this area is really hurting. The families of those in the auto industry are really hurting. My husband has a great job with great benefits. God has been very good to us. He has provides many things for us and I am ever so thankful for those things. Even when I don't want to be. Like this weather. I am thankful for it even though I complain about it. I know that eventually spring will be here and we will be able to go outside and enjoy the creation God made. We will get to see the flowers and the trees start to bud and bloom and the grass turn from brown to green. It will happen. I know it will.
