Snow Day...

Gosh, yesterday's post was a bit of a downer.  But it was an honest assessment of my mood and heart for the moment.  As I reread every verse, I so painstakingly looked up (because I can't remember them), I knew in my heart that I wasn't alone.  I also knew in my heart that when I ask Him to rid me of myself, I must be prepared for His will to do so.  Riiiight.  Wasn't prepared.

So...today was a bit gentler.  Certainly time with my beloved, watching our marathon of Downton Abbey helped, too.  As did this walk, which I took right before I made dinner.  Yes, the snow is inconvenient, and the streets are icy.  But a more splendid, majestic sight, I've rarely seen.  Pure.  Beautiful.  Although my heart beats for Maui, I do hope my life will always be filled with the odd snow day or two.  While the sand between my toes, the frolicking whales, and the crashing surf remind me to run, and play, and live life to the full, the softly fallen snow reminds me to rest.  More than that, however, it reminds me that He makes all things new. 

Revelation 21:5 (NLT)

And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!”
