I cannot begin to tell you how much I love living in a small town! I woke up this morning to quite a bit of snow in my yard. Jarod was off to speech, so the scooping had two options: me or wait. So as I drank my coffee, in my nice flannel pj's, communicating with my cousin on Facebook, I hear Barb McClintic's scooping getting louder and louder. I look out my window, and here she is scooping my sidewalk. I stuck my pony-tail-on-top head out the door and told her she didn't have to do that, but she is about as stubborn as I am! So I guiltily closed the door, returned to my coffee and Facebook, only to hear a snowblower coming down the same sidewalk. It was Becky Hopwood coming to finish off the rest of MY sidewalk for Barb. What a huge blessing those two women are!
So, I pulled on some jeans and a sweatshirt over my flannel jammies and headed out to tackle the rest! I think this snow was the greatest blessing God could have given me today! I got out in the brisk cold, worked up a sweat, got my heart pumping, inhaled some quality, non-filtered oxygen, enjoyed the twinkling snow, and was blessed with a little help from Lydia. I cannot tell you how much that snow did, not only for my body, but my heart! I feel like a new woman! A frosty one, but ready to tackle what the Lord has in store for me today!
For some reason my reader wasn't picking up your posts...until today! I got to sit for 15 minutes and read almost 2 weeks of your thoughts and pretend that we were sharing a cup of coffee in your warm and lovely home.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your grandpa's passing. Your memories of him are priceless. Thank you so much for sharing your view of the world around us. Reading your words always warms my heart.
Love ya!
