Snow

Well we got our first snow finally. The kids have been waiting an eternity it seems for it. It was so beautiful when we woke up and watched the flakes fall from the heavens. Of course, doing chores in it wasn't so much fun.... But after chores we played and played. I did have to drag the kids aways from the maneur pile... It is the only slope we have around. So I could see where it could have been fun. But still it is horse/goat poop. Icky. I do have to draw the line somewhere, even in the snow.. We enjoyed it until it all melted. Which wasn't very long. Maybe an hour.. But it was fun while it lasted.. I was trying to explain to the children that you just don't order up the snow. You can pray for it but God and ONLY God will send it when it is time. Of course they response is "It IS time"... I told them the reason we don't get snow often is because God wants us to enjoy it. If we had it all the time we wouldn't know how to appreciate it. Just like with other things in our lives.. We eat 3 + meals a day. How many of us are actually THANKFUL for every morsel of food. Although we should be. SO I think God lets us see his beauty so we will always appreciate it. Same as the sun. We love the sun. It gives out great vitamins. It keeps us warm. But we don't really appreciate it until it is gone for a few days. God has given us so many blessings each day. It just so happens that yesterday he blessed us with the beauty of snow. God Bless!
