I love the joy that snow days bring! Who doesn't love the beautiful white powder relaxing on the ground, and the calming aroma it brings. The best part of today had to be all of the remaining Valentine chocolates I ate. Apparently my lover doesn't understand that I am trying to lose a few pounds, and gave me an entire box of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory chocolates, complete with a massive peanut butter cup, chocolate covered graham crackers, and chocolate truffles (YUM!).
Today, I relaxed and reflected on the goodness and grace of our Lord. It is humbling to think about a God who loves me so much that He not only sent his son to die on the cross, but allows me to indulge in the simple pleasures of this temporary life; snow days are a direct reflection of God's beauty. It sounds goofy in more ways than one, but I feel compelled to thank God for a Monday off. Monday's are my "crazy" days of the week, and the opportunity to eat chocolate, drink coffee, catch up on reading, and watch The Bachelor is enough to bring me to my little blog (that i'm convinced only my mom reads), and relay my gratefulness for this day.
Thank you Father for a beautiful snow day! Thank you for having such a gracious and giving heart that you allow me to relax and catch up on this crazy life. Today was so needed, and I am tickled pink that I was given this gift. Thank you for keeping my loved ones safe as they drove on the roads today, and thank you for loving me more than I can envision in my simple mind. Days like today are few and far between, but I treasure and remember them.
I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their snow day, and I pray it fulfilled you as much as it did me!
