Snow Day



So, yesterday I got to thinking about God's resourcefulness and how amazing He is to use everyday events and people to shape us into who He wants us to be. When we have been talking about being resourceful, I think that we have been just concentrating on us and how we "are using what we have to get the job done". But, God is the ultimate example of resourcefulness...He has taken so little and made it into so much!!


I was watching the snow fall yesterday and thinking about all you girls and how I bet you are hoping for A LOT of snow...maybe even a snow day!! And I was getting all excited about drinking hot chocolate (with the little colored marshmallows...my favorite) in front of my fireplace and reading my favorite book. Then I just sat for a minute and watched as flakes started to cover my deck and yard and then it looked like God had taken powdered sugar and sprinkled all over the world... it was just beautiful. I was amazed at something so small, yet such a miracle in itself. And I took time to thank God for this beautiful sight and all He has given to us.


God was resourceful in creating the earth, resourceful in making humans, resourceful in nature and resourceful with our lives. He uses little things...like a snow...to show me how wonderful He is. He puts people in my life (like YOU) to show me how loving He is. And He gives me the things I need to show me how resourceful He is. God is so good!!


So today, take a minute to find something big or small that reminds you how resourceful God is and how He uses eveyday people and events to show Himself to us!! Hugs to you...stay warm...wear your ear-muffins!!


Love through Him,
