Joining in Giving Thanks for the Snow

Three days ago we received 10 inches of snow and last night got a few more. At this point we are over 30 inches for the snow season a few inches ahead of where we were last year at this time. Last year we broke the record for snow fall in a season with 101.5 inches of snow. So how can we be thankful? Our kids get to play in the snow, we get to have an intense work out every other morning, it is really pretty falling down, and we actually experience all four seasons in Wisconsin every year. This last one is probably the reason I am most thankful. Having a silver white winter that melts into spring is really a cool thing to experience, it makes you even more thankful for spring. And fighting with the snow plow guy after he plows a foot of snow into a drive way you have just shoveled out of, well I'm not so thankful for that. That is just part of living in Wisconsin and that is where God has placed us and where I am so thankful to be. So for all of you friends and family that read our blog and dread all of our snow we don't have to dream of a White Christmas. We get a White Christmas, a white New Year, a white Valentines day and many times a white Easter. By Easter it gets a little harder to be thankful. Merry Christmas, may all of your Christmas' be white, ours have been!
