Wintry Mix

Tonight and early tomorrow we could be experiencing a “wintry mix.”

I guess that means we could have freezing rain, sleet or snow, or nothing.

I remember my first “snow.” I was in elementary school and our mom and dad woke us up saying there was a “surprise” outside. There had been about a two-inch snowfall. It was wonderfully unexpected. Instead of school we had a fun day playing in the snow.

I remember my grand daughter’s first snow. We had taken the train to Chicago. We walked around downtown Chicago. There was snow everywhere. We stopped in a park and she played in the snow. The folks from Chicago passed with strange smiles on their faces. They had become so use to snow that it was no longer a delight, but an inconvenience.

Tomorrow may end up being just another winter day, but could very different for us. We may have ice or snow. Traveling might be difficult. We should all act in a safe way. Maybe more importantly we should act a bit like kids. Let’s not get to the point that God’s little surprises don’t delight us. That would be really sad.

Be delighted and be blessed, no matter what the day brings.
