Snow Day!!!

Yep, it is the day when our school principals are held in highest esteem by our children! While the winter storm rages in breathtaking beauty outside, we are inside, 2 boys inside, 2 boys with energy that could support me for a lifetime if it could be harnessed by our hydro company. My 14-year-old did venture out to shovel the driveway and release some of that energy. Thank you, Lord. And did I say, I'm glad I do not have to drive? Ok. This tropical girl likes to look out at the snow, the wind, the ice, the sleet, but prefers to keep her eyeglasses lenses unfrosted and not to have a workout with wind resistance. Strange, it used to look so peacefully beautiful when I saw it in pictures as a child. However, I do have to admit, it is breathtaking in its beauty!
Anyway, time to break out the board games! Pray all is safe out there. Be blessed.

Father, thank You that I am warm and safe in this weather. I think about those who are homeless right now and my heart breaks, for the thought of being out in this cold, unprotected, buffeted by the wind and ice rain, is horrifying to me. Please send ministering angels to wrap warm wings of protection round those in peril right now, not clothed properly, feeling abandoned. Thank you, Father. I do love You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

We had snow here in OK yesterday and today the sun is out and they say it is going to get up into the 50's today and 60's this weekend!
During Christmas time we had a bad ice storm and were without electricity for 7 days!
We have a house that has some gas so it was ok, but....I was ready for some light and heat by that 7th day!
The snow is beautiful though. I was praying for my husband and chidren who both drive back and forth 25 plus miles to work and back. Praise God for keeping them safe.
Enjoy your weekend!
