Winter Surprises

We are three days into an ice storm that has me couped up in the house with two active boys. Keeping them entertained and not fighting can be a challenge when we don't have the option of getting outside. School has been cancelled for two days and will be closed again tomorrow. I was thinking about posting something today about longing for warmer weather & looking forward to hot summer days spent at the pool. No doubt I have been getting irritated at our weather conditions & how it affects my life!

That is until I happened to glace at some artwork that AJ brought home from school a couple weeks ago.

In case you can't read what it says at the top, it is

"Thank you God for beautiful winter surprises! Amen"

Okay, I get it. Life isn't just about me! I can find things to praise God for even in the inconveniencies I encounter. Like the extra time I get to spend with the boys, their excitment of watching the sleet & snow fall, seeing icicles everywhere, the tracks they make in the snow.

Thank you God for beautiful winter surprises! Amen.
