Oh snow! What a glorious thing it is. For us folks in the south snow is a very unexpected thing, and that is exactly what my sunday was like...unexpected. I thought we would get up, go to church and lunch, then the girls would head back to Savannah. Well I was certainly wrong. By the time we woke up it was pouring and difficult for four girls to get ready in one bathroom. We decided on staying in. What is interesting about this is just how much I saw God in this day even though we didn't got to church. I don't say interesting because it surprises me or that I'm finding some excuse for not going to church. Its interesting in how you see God if your looking rather than if your going to church because its just what you do on sunday morning anywhere between 8 and 10ish. No today I saw God in friends, I saw God in sweets, I saw God in the snow, I saw God in the sunset, I saw God in the attempted sleding we tryed so hard to do, I saw God in the snowball fight we had, and in the laughter we shared, ok I think you see where I'm going. It was also feast day for me. You see something that is going on in my life right now is lent. I am not eating sweets as a part of this time, but and this is a big BUT, Sunday is what you call feast day. Feast day! I can have sweets in recognition of Christ's resurection. He gave up his life so that we can have ours. See the relation here. It was a great feast day...everything about it was sweet. Even my friend's were saying, all day actually,"this is the most perfect day!" I marveled at how much they loved the snow. How interesting will it be when we get to see how God really meant everything to be in this world. Just look at these pictures and how excited we were. Look at how beautiful everything was made by the snow. So my friends stayed an extra night and we had a fabulous weekend of fun and friendship. It was great. I just wanted to share the sweet pure joy of it all.
