The snow is finally melting, the fresh green grass is finally showing, the cold weather is starting to fade and everyone is starting to wear their spring clothes, which excites me because we are doing the preparation of spring. And the sun is warming up, which will then start to heat because of summer's arrival.
Spring and summer are two of my most favorite seasons because of the good and calm weather. I am always excited that they are coming when we are in the middle between winter and spring. I love to walk on the fresh, green grass on my bare fleshy feet because of the softness and the freshness that the ground contains. And I would love to walk through a vineyard in California like I did when I was there for Girls' camp a couple years ago. I miss walking through there with my family and I miss California because of the good and nice weather, the beaches that I love to visit and the people that I met, became friends with and love to see.
I have learned that there are always changes that happen every year and they'll never stop; there's always a new chapter to begin with. Our own stories about each of us will never end until the day we join our Heavenly Father. Some of them are hard for us to deal with but most of them can bring happiness and joy, like my sister Lexie is going to bring a baby girl into the world this summer and I know she and her loving husband Grant will be great parents to their child.
Ever since I was 13 I have visited Lexie and Grant in Rohnert Park and they are such great people and I'm so thankful for their unfailing love and the sacrifice they have made when I had to come to live with them when things were starting to get violent in Mexico. They have been very great guardians of mine for 2 years and they have helped me a lot with the challenges I went through. And they taught me all the things I needed to know. Now they are getting ready to become the parents of a little one that will come into this world and experience life's challenges.
I don't know what would happen if I didn't come to live with them and stayed in Mexico when all the violence was taking place. But I know that I wouldn't have received the blessings that were waiting there for me to have if I didn't come. There are always blessings to count, one by one.
