Greetings!
Today we are having our first winter storm...when it is all said and done...we should get somewhere between 12 to 30 inches. I am not looking forward to digging out...sigh.
I can't say I'm too upset about not being able to go anywhere. I just believe it is God's way of allowing those of us who think we always have to be doing something to get some rest...without the guilt. I know. I know. Guilt is not of God, but I am still dealing with this flesh...and, it doesn't want to give up without a fight. I'm getting better though. I remember being so passive-aggressive that I would say yes to everyone, and everything...then spend days agonizing about how to get out of it or do it, and just be miserable the whole time. I'm glad that period is over, and I know God is helping me work the rest of it out.
When I get past the panic of watching the news and hearing all of the gory details about how much snow we will be getting...the snow is actually quite beautiful. I took a picture of it and sent it to my sister who lives down south, and she was so disturbed about it that it made me laugh...out loud. I'm so used to it that I don't think about it. We just wait until it's over, and then just dig our way out.
Looking out the window at the snow makes me think about when I was young and my mother used to make snow ice cream. All the children in my neighborhood would stay outside playing in the snow until we couldn't feel our fingertips, and then drink hot chocolate made from scratch...in an old pot...kept just for hot chocolate. Those were the days...
Although...I don't know...Florida is sounding pretty good right now.
Until next time...
Be blessed
