Walking in a winter wonderland
The snow finally arrived. There is something magical about watching snow fall; it's like watching a crackling fire or waves or a thunderstorm roll in. I can't help but think words to the song 'Indescribable' by Chris Tomlin,"Creation's revealing your Majesty." When I told the kids that no two snowflakes are the same, Mikayla's response was, "God must have had lots of fun last night hey Mom?"
Our memories of this time will differ. Josh will probably remember the perfect snow ball that he threw that hit me in the face or pushing me on the sled as fast as he could until I squealed. Keren may remember what the snow tasted like (she sampled it quite a bit).Mikayla loved feeling the snow falling on her face, perhaps she'll remember building the snow man. Brett may remember the skiing or the crunch underfoot as he walked through the forest to work each morning. I will remember our beautiful night time walk through the forest winter wonderland. I will remember the feeling of being utterly blessed to be married to this man with whom I get to share these adventures. I will remember the delight I felt that my heart is full because I have the privilege of being a mom to three amazing children who also give me an excuse to roll in the snow and have snow ball fights and the license to stick my tongue out to catch snowflakes.
