Anyone who knows me well, knows that this time of year I go around singing this little refrain in my head quite often....
In fact, it really becomes a prayer, more than a phrase from a song....
And it doesn't usually take much to satisfy my longing for the white stuff...
Usually once a year God answers my little prayer - even if it doesn't stick and even if it doesn't last for 24 hours....
Last night He sent a love note just to me (OK, maybe for some others too, but I don't know many of them)....
I sat on the floor inside my front door (yes, I changed from screen to glass a week ago while Dad was here to help me) for over half an hour just watching it come down and praising God for the beauty in His creation of all things....
I've been learning lately, that He pursues me and loves me and yearns to spend time with me, as well as longs for me to seek Him out and long for time with Him. It's a concept that doesn't seem all that difficult, but in reality is much deeper if not different than anything I've experienced before. He really and truly is my first and best love and sitting there last night watching it snow was just like having Him next to me and wrapping His arms around me and whispering, "see how much I love you and enjoy seeing you smile, I've brought you next to me to enjoy you're own snowfall in peace and quiet. Rest in me." What a blessing....
P.S. I wasn't sure what would be left, but I waited to take pictures in the daylight this morning. Now as I look out my office window it's all gone, but the real gift is that my Lord did it for me and He is still right here. Many blessings upon you this weekend - don't rush through it too much to enjoy Him!
