A Blessed Day of Reflection

It was a Blessing this morning to wake up and realize that the world around us would be much slower today.  The schools and many businesses were closed because of the ice and snow that layered itself across the nation.  A welcome chance to thank the Lord for His many blessings upon this nation.  A quick glance at the News brought the trouble of the world into that quiet.  It wasn't what I was supposed to be concerned about today.
The world and it's issues will be there tomorrow and for this day, A day the Lord has made, I will be glad and rejoice in it.  

Imagine my anticipation of putting on a pair of boots, gloves and my coat to brave the elements.  Stepping outside with all the crisp cold air blowing the snow into drifts around our home brought out my thoughts for our God.  He created this beauty for all of us. It has a purpose for us, we place our faith in Him as we struggle through the drifts of cold in the world. We become amazed at His display of snow flakes blowing in the wind, none of which are alike.  Just like each of us.

Thank-you for this day.
