Beautiful Weather...For Now

Belfast, on a clear day, seen from Cave Hill. Although clear days are uncommon here, we've had extraordinary weather so far. We have been warned that once winter comes, the dreariness will set in- overcast, sharp wind, freezing rain (but hardly ever snow). But at the moment I'm thankful for the beautiful skies and countryside, which have helped the transition from sunny Florida. I don't think we realize how much the weather can affect our moods, but I am sure to find out as we get further into Belfast's famously depressing winter. I just hope when it comes I will be able to maintain proper perspective. I must learn to find my joy in the love of the Lord and in his promises, for nothing else is lasting (particularly the weather). Perhaps this will help me do that.
