I’m sitting at my desk at home staring out the window. It’s a beautiful snow-covered scene. We got about three to four inches of snow last night. Unfortunately, a warm front was close behind, which has left us with freezing rain. But, the snow still looks beautiful nonetheless.
My original intention for blogging was to complain about my almost three hour ride home from work last night. But, stories about frozen windshield wipers and snow plows that always end up behind my car don’t exactly capture the spirit of the morning.
It seems that whenever we have a substantial snow fall, we are forced to be still. If I were to walk outside right this moment and simply listen, I would hear silence. No buses. No car horns. Nothing.
It’s somewhat humbling to think of how the weather can cancel our plans. We are forced to stop our daily routines. Perhaps it’s God’s simple reminder of who He is…and how small we are.
“He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ So that all men he has made may know his work, he stops every man from his labor.”

Another good one Katie. I like your perspective on weather events. I am always too busy complaining about the bad weather to notice, I think. But it is a demonstration that we all too often need. Thanks for the insight.

So you don’t fall down in this one? What were you doing just standing around, get to work!! I am glad to see you were not attempting to run in this weather especially since you are challenged enough when the roads are clear. hehe
