Snow is Starting to Sound a lot like Sheol Right About Now............

Yes, wonderful way to open up the blog post, eh? It's a free country, deal with it. Don't worry, theres always a method to my madness.........most the time.

Soo........This morning I woke up, and couldn't tell the difference between the flat land and the hill in the back yard. I'm beginning to doubt that Global warming thing more now. They say Global Warming is to blame for no snow, and BAM, there is two/three feet of snow within a 4-day period and more to come. Yay.

I guess I shouldn't complain though. I mean, wasn't it just last month that people were complaining that there wasn't any snow? I mean, it was like 'theres no snow,' 'theres no white stuff' 'I want a snowman!' 'waaan waaan waan' And now we have snow, and now everyone isn't exactly complaining, but they aren't thanking the Lord for it either. It reminds me of how much we whine about the current situation, then when it changes, we whine that it changed. I'm not pointing fingers, but I am sure some of you have, more then once, wished you didn't have snow. They make the roads harder to drive on, it's colder, it's hard to walk through it, it gets in your socks, shirts underwear. Snow, for those unnaturally grumpy adults, is like white dust from hell. Snow, for us less-then-grumpy people of the world, find it as enjoyable as it is inconvenient. It's fun to play in and you can make stuff, but it's cold and gets wet when you enter hot places. As long as it snows, you get nice, fresh white powder as well as the stuff that came in the night before, but you also find that when you get more and more of it, bunched together, it gets harder and harder to maneuver through it.

Not so much fun for us people who have to feed animals in the snow.

I genuinely enjoy the snow. I like sitting inside, reading a book and watching it, or drink hot cocoa while standing on the porch to watch the snow fall at night. I'm not a very keen person on playing it it, one of the factors being I have no snow clothes. The other...well, it's wet. I dun like wet.

For me, snow makes me as happy as it makes me slightly sad. I don't know why, but theres something depressing about all that white, makes me feel a bit like crying sometimes. Like, there's a story behind the white blanket. It kinda reminds that I'm as white as that snow, but not by myself. I'm white as snow because He came down from Heaven, wept with us, hurt with us, felt pain like us, and died to take away all our transgressions, because he LOVED us. Because he wanted to make us white as snow, like him. Interesting thought, isn't it?

So I guess, in light of that thought, it makes me a little more grateful for the change in season from Autumn to Winter. The white that falls from the sky reminds us of how a unblemished Lamb cam down and made us like him. Blameless.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a grateful, fun filled time in this change of weather.
