SNOW!

Saturday afternoon was a warm sunny day in our neck of the woods. So warm and sunny, in fact, that I saw more than one customer come in with sunburns while at work that evening. Now, most people welcome warm, sunny weather on the second day of March. I, however, felt a sort of depression settle in with the knowledge that this warm, sunny day marked the end of "winter" and the beginning of the road to a long, hot summer.

However, I am joyful to report that I was wrong. In the space of two short days we went from warm sunshine, to freezing cold wind and rain, to SNOW! It started to snow in the evening and had finished by the middle of the night but, it was snowing real snow (not that icy imitation) and we had a chance to play in it a little and enjoy the unique atmosphere that can only be had with a blanket of snow. The snow began to melt as soon as the sun rose this morning and will be gone by the time we are in bed tonight. Tomorrow the temperature will be back in the sixties. Yet, when all hope of any winter weather was lost for the year, God saw fit to show me that he is indeed in control and gave this wonderful gift of real snow in March in Texas.

Praise you, Lord! You knew the desires of my heart and provided this beautiful gift. Thank you.
