I shared this with some people, but I have to write it down. It is still awe inspiring to me. And I am so grateful to a loving Heavenly Father who makes this world so beautiful.
We have had quite a long winter. Lately a few nice days and then some snowy days etc. So many people complain about the snow and I just love it. I prefer cold weather to hot weather. Not blizzards, though. I love the snow glistening in the sun, I love the snow covered mountains, I love to play in the snow.
This week we had a lot of snow over a couple of days. I woke up Thursday morning to a foot of snow on the ground, the roof and on top of the cars. But it had stopped snowing. I went to the 6 am temple session in the Mt Timpanogos temple. As I entered the Celestial room about 7:30, I could tell the sun was out. That in itself was exciting. Then when I came out of the temple, I was met by the most beautiful sight. There are a lot of trees by the temple and they were all totally covered with snow, the snow was all over the ground, the cars in the parking lot, the mountains… and the sun was shining brightly on it all. It was so beautiful that it took my breath away!! I got soooo excited and I was so grateful for the experience. Thank you Heavenly Father for making this earth so wonderful!
A little later that morning, we drove to West Valley City, where we needed to work on our rental property. And as we got into the Salt Lake valley, there was no snow on the ground. They missed it! We still had some snow on the ground at home until this morning, two days later. But today, as I came out of the temple about the same time as the other day, the grass was all green, all the tulips and daffodils and pansies were blooming, the mountains were still white and it was a different beauty. Spring and flowers make me happy, too. Spring makes everybody happy. It was just gorgeous! And today, it was so warm and nice outside. Here in the mountains and high altitude, things just change a lot. Today, everybody was out working in the yards and enjoying the sunshine.
