Snow.........

We are amazed by it.
Awed by it.
Made child-like by it.
Stressed about it.
This week we had 5 inches of snow in Nashville.
Ultimately, what a good winter storm does for a
family in the south is......it makes us stop.
Stop work.
Stop school.
Stop schedules.
I couldn't help but notice all the Facebook posts
about being snowed-in with family.
So much fun.......making chili, eating pancakes,
playing games together, relaxing, etc.

This morning Jill and I had a 2 and a half hour worship
service.....here.....snowed in. Fabulous.
The simple things...
Talking.
A good book.
Quiet time.

Why do we have to have an"excuse" to do all this?
Why don't we do this ALL THE TIME ??

Lord, thank you for the snow.....
....and all that came with it !
