My attitude should not be based on what’s going on around me. The heat and the cold comes and goes, but my relationship with God is firmly rooted in God’s Word.

rain. Back then, she looked out the window and asked, “Where in the 
world is the sun?” 

I wanted to respond, “My dear, the sun is in the sky, just above the
clouds.” 

You have no idea how much I wanted to say that, but being a seasoned and
successful husband, I kept it to myself. 

The heat is not about numbers; it's about attitude. Some people's
attitudes make me uncomfortable. Shaking fists and yelling at the sky 
show an attitude not rooted in sanity. 

One of the best things about a hot, sunny afternoon is, I can sit down
and enjoy it in a cool atmosphere. I remember those days far, far away 
when I lived up north and had to look out the window and see white 
fluffy stuff fill up our yard and driveway. Maybe if I would've stood 
there and shook my fist at the snow it would have gone away. If only I 
knew that back then. 

Now that I have experienced both of these weathers, the hot and the
cold, I have chosen the hot weather. And I am unanimous in that 
decision. 

While contemplating on this I thought of some scripture. 

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let 
patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, 
wanting nothing” (James 1:2-4). 

My attitude should not be based on what's going on around me. The heat
and the cold comes and goes, but my relationship with God is firmly 
rooted in God's Word.
