The Dog Days of...Winter?

We have been enjoying a phenomenon rarely seen here in the Pacific Northwest...SNOW...and lots of it! When snow comes to visit, adults turn back into children looking for any reason to get out into the snow and play; children cannot sleep because maybe, just maybe their school district will cancel school for the day. Families seem to get a little closer while snow is here because we  take the time to interact with each other instead of going in three different directions. We get nostalgic remembering how much fun snow time was when we were little and want to emulate that experience again whenever the snow arrives. 

I've been reminded recently about putting God first in life. When God surprises us with unexpected things like snow, which sometimes can really throw us off of our schedules, sometimes His goal is to bless us by allowing us to spend a few extra hours with our significant others which we wouldn't have had otherwise. Maybe God is blessing us with much needed rest and relaxation from the workplace or our busy schedules.

I thank God this morning for the life-interruptions He has given me. God has shown me that there are ways to look at them and to understand that these interruptions can be blessings in my life. The snow has an added bonus because God made it so beautiful and wonderful to look at! 

I leave you this morning with some snow pictures taken around our house and the property that we live on. (Max may have made it into a few of them, lol)
