Coming to Terms with Winter

Well, many of you know that I love the snow and the silence and peacefulness a gentle snow brings. If I had to make a choice between the dog days of summer and the cold and snowy winter, I would choose winter. Sometimes it's just a matter of accepting it and finding the beauty. I sit here today in the beautiful rolling hills of southeast Nebraska near Pawnee City and I'm watching the snow flurries find their spot on the ground nestling in with the others, and as I see the ground getting whiter and whiter, it occurs to me again that no two snowflakes are alike! How amazing is that when you really think about it. God gives us so much beauty, free of charge, but we just have to take a moment to see it! I want to wish you all a cozy Christmas, and remember to enjoy the small things in life.
