what we can learn from snow

these are the days they will talk about for years

they will tell their kids

and their kids will tell their kids

and statements like "it just doesn't snow like it did when i was a kid will be made"

but what makes it so magical

what makes us feel like a kid inside

that you sled down a hill

and work extra building a snowman

what makes us sit at the windows 

in awe of the scene before our eyes

God lays a blanket over the earth 

and we can't help but curl up and feel His warmth

He teaches us that we aren't in control

that we have to come to Him

we will have to ask for help sometimes

 He can give us anything!

even 14 inches of snow

He teaches us to rely on one another

and that when we have the resources we help others

thanks to those who scraped someone else's driveway

thanks to those who checked on a neighbor

thanks to those who called a friend

thanks to those who pulled someone out of a ditch 

thanks to those who took someone home

thanks to those who worked and to those who stayed at home

God had a hand in all of it

when the sun comes back out

help us not forget 

God is in control

and we should treat each day, each moment, each lesson

in awe of His great works
serving Him and serving others in every way we can
