Snow Day!



This morning I woke up to an unexpected SNOW! The forecasters predicted little to no accumulation. Thank you God for the little surprises! I went about my normal morning routine. Before drying my hair turned on the news to see that school had been canceled- optional workday! Back to bed I went- wet hair and all! I enjoyed my day off- catching up on school work and relaxing. Doing my devotions- this old song came to mind... I thought it was fitting for a day like to day.

Every Season- Nicole Nordeman

Every evening sky, an invitation
To trace the patterned stars
And early in July, a celebration
For freedom that is ours
And I notice You
In children’s games
In those who watch them from the shade
Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder

You are summer

And even when the trees have just surrendered
To the harvest time
Forfeiting their leaves in late September
And sending us inside
Still I notice You when change begins
And I am braced for colder winds
I will offer thanks for what has been and was to come
You are autumn

And everything in time and under heaven
Finally falls asleep
Wrapped in blankets white, all creation
Shivers underneath
And still I notice you

When branches crack
And in my breath on frosted glass
Even now in death, You open doors for life to enter
You are winter

And everything that’s new has bravely surfaced
Teaching us to breathe

What was frozen through is newly purposed
Turning all things green

So it is with You
And how You make me new
With every season’s change

And so it will be
As You are re-creating me

Summer, autumn, winter, spring
