Good Friday morning! Wow, what a change in the weather. We are enjoying a spring blizzard this morning, lots of wind and some snow. Is it shameful to pray for a snow day? I don't think so, work is what it is, and we do not have to be overjoyed to go every day. What a birthday present a nice snow day would be. Yes, today is my forty-fifth birthday, praise God I made it this far!
The wind during the past two nights has made me a bit sleep deprived today. My house has many good features, but the wind does make it noisy and difficult to sleep. Vinyl siding: great to look at, miserably noisy in the wind. Back in the old days, a storm like this would just blow through the soddies and houses, literally through. Do we trust in our houses to save us from the weather these days? Perhaps a bit more than in the past, but we still place our faith in God above all. It wouldn't take much more wind to put our lives in some danger. A loss of power, and I speak no words of omen here, could still leave our homes in danger of freezing. However, in Christ we need have no fears for our safety. Yes, injuries and accidents will occur in some of our lives, but we don't need to fear those events. Is it a coincidence that I speak of such things on a day like this? No, the roads are slick, the visibility is poor, and some schools are too frightened of words to close for the day. There may be some accidents in this weather. Trust in Christ and keep the kids home if you feel that you should.
Jesus loves you!
