Snowing in Dallas

So I only remember a few times when it has snowed as long as it has snowed today. All of those times were when I was young and living in the country - Southeast of Norman OK. Snow always makes me excited. Its cold, wet, and is so peaceful as it falls gently from the sky. As long as it is here - the world is bright, clean looking. Such a startling background - so different from any other time of the year. And I think pretty different for Dallas.

I secretly like the cold much more than the heat. I love layers of cuddly clothes, warm blankets, wood-burning fireplaces in action, some hot tea, a good book and a snuggly place on the couch.
I get excited because I know that when I get to go home - though a slow and treacherous journey it may be, my sweet husband will be there. :) That although we don't have a fireplace, we can snuggle on the couch with my hot tea and my book while something warm is bubbling away on the stove. :) We can have enjoy a few stolen moments as work/play is canceled all around us. The still, quiet snow can leak into our evening and help give us time together that we would not have otherwise had.

Thank you, Lord, for sending us snow. And I would like to thank you in advance for the victory You will give me when my husband and I finish our snow ball fight we began this morning. :)
