six yr old attains new heights at driveway entrance; mom wonders how much higher she can go |
If you look carefully (2nd truck on left) , you will see that they are collecting the snow off the roads and blowing it into dumptrucks. Once the dumptrucks are full of snow, they are driven off to some mysterious location with their load of white stuff. I remember when I saw this for the first time last year, I laughed so hard that we ended up in a place where dump trucks carry snow not mud.
When we lived in PA, we used to say that Buffalo, NY is where all the snow goes to die. I say differently now.
So, what do we do with all this snow? Make the most of it, I guess... Children do that so well. I'm sure there's a life lesson there.
In addition to the buckets of snow, we have also had some really low temperatures -- like where we hope to hit zero.
I thought this was so bad, I took a picture. |
Until the next morning. |
And yet, if you look close there is beauty all around. And the knowledge that winter can't last forever. Spring, color and life are around the corner... even though the corner may be a bit farther away than I would like.

I didn't mean to, but as I'm writing, I can't help but apply that to our lives. It brings me to the verse (Ps. 30:5), "...Even though weeping may endure for a night, joy comes in the morning." Think on it, friends. God's at work even though we may not see it. Hope always. Dawn will break.
signs of life: burning bush |
