Sitting quietly by the fire, drinking coffee, eagerly waiting on the promised snow. Snow brings out the kid in every Southerner. We rarely get it, so when we do, it is a special event. We prep for it, buy all the milk, bread, and bananas, rent several good movies, plan homemade soups, fill our wood boxes, and turn off our alarm clocks. We then sit and wait for the big event. Last evening, I sat down, looked out at the setting sun, and said aloud, “Ok, God, I’m ready for the big event. You’re on!!!” I always watch the sunrise and sunset. This is how Southerners feel about snow. We know He has a storehouse full of the stuff (Job 38), and occasionally, He shares several inches with us. It brings such a peaceful and sincere quiet to our world. “Ok, God, we’re ready for the big event! You’re on!!!”
