This morning was my first morning getting up to go to "work" all week because of snow.
I was not even sad because…. I won't be coming to school tomorrow either… why, you ask… because of SNOW of course!
And so while applying blush to my face this morning, I was grateful to God for orchestrating my life to allow me to actually enjoy snow.
LOTS of people hate it. I was wondering why…….
and this is what I came up with:
- They hate it because they have to deal with it.
- they have to push it
- they have to drive in it no matter what
- they have to shovel it
- I don't hate it because I don't have to deal with it:
- I don't push it
- I don't have to drive in it
- I don't have to shovel it
I DON'T have to do any of those things because GOD is great and orchestrated my days (so far) to allow me to look forward to it, and not dread it.
He did this by:
- Giving me a home in Salem that has a GREAT road clearing system. I am only "snowed in" at best, half a morning. I am never really "stuck."
- Giving me a "job" or "duty" that requires I report to a public school every morning that CLOSES school when snow comes so I don't have to get in my car…. everything stops when the white stuff falls.
- Giving me a husband who LOVES to shovel snow.. with a shovel, and more specifically, with a lawn mower with an attached blade.
So yea, why would I hate snow??????
I don't know let me count the way, I didn't spend 2 hours at walmart trying to get prescriptions filled in 40 minute lines, and not being able to move your buggy because there is someone there, so you just close your eyes, push your buggy out, and hope you don't get t-boned by an old lady with efferdent and depends in her buggy, and then wait in line to check out for 30 more minutes..
I don't! I love it
Really, I do.
Wal-Mart can be avoided if I thought ahead.
Enjoy the snow coming!

Me too! I LOVE snow too! and I have realized the same thing....I love it because I don't have to deal with it! I have never shoveled it. I have never HAD to drive in it. God has provided me with a good, strong husband who works and shovels (enjoying both), so I can just enjoy the snow's beauty....from inside, where I'm warm and cozy. The kids having snow days from school is a blessing - we have watched movies we borrowed from church, played board games, played Wii Fit, made yummy desserts together - it's been FUN. I have ventured out a little bit to take pictures. I keep checking your blog for YOUR snow pictures. Umm...you mind getting your snow stuff on & going out??? I need some Shannon pix!! ;)
