The ridiculousness of their argument made me laugh to myself and I thought immediately of how closely their behavior mirrored what we adults often do. We think we’re above such childish silliness but in reality we often focus our own little “shovels and buckets” on some tiny narrow personal solution or desire while we forget that the spiritual plain that surrounds us is quite large and very wide and, our Heavenly Father has provided for us in overwhelming abundance. If we would just stop and turn our heads long enough to view the landscape from a spiritual perspective we might see His provisions lying around just like the acres and acres of the white powdery fluff that our two little grand-kids missed. There it is; massive quantities, direct from heaven, completely untouched everywhere, and, waiting for us to refocus our desires and scoop it up into our buckets.

Which reminds me, I’m not really sure how global warming is working here in Spain Somehow, global warming seems to be making the weather ‘generally’ cooler here in Spain. At least that’s how it feels to me personally… Maybe I just don’t understand what’s happening but here are some ‘personal’ observations on this subject:

Now that we have global warming in Spain:

I have to wear my heavy coat instead of my jacket in the winter.
Summers here in Spain seem noticeably cooler.
There is more rain in Spain (falling both on the plain and elsewhere…)
The car has a frosted windshield in the morning almost every day.
Spaniards tell us it hasn’t been this cold for at least 30 years…

Anyway, global warming must be happening somewhere else this year… at least so far…
