Well another snow day is upon us :-) yippee....I think?
I had a overwhelming feeling from God today to savor it, don't fight it.... don't complain about the lessons not done.....or the wet floors from melting snow, or the boots, mittens, hats, scarves, snowpants and coats strewn all over my back hall, or the hot chocolate cups piled in the sink.
Sometimes I need a reminder from God to just "go with it". After all He gave us the seasons....He has set everything in order.
So maybe there is something divine about a slew of snowdays or maybe I could just choose to look at it as divine. Either way today I am going to "go with it".
.
I am tucking the list away.(the mental one too) Not thinking about what I can't get done because the roads are slippery. Not complaining ...which I do entirely too much of anyways. Sometimes it hits me how little control I have over all this "stuff" anyways. In the grand scheme of life another missed math lesson, or one less chapter read isn't going to make or break any of my kids. Seeing a mom roll with the unexpected and be joy filled over life's "little" delights such as SNOW may be something they remember when life sends them a curve ball. It maybe something much more serious than a hand full of snow delays. I want to instill resilience in my brood. I want them to look at a change of plans with the enthusiasm. That is something that my husband does really well and I've learned from him (or trying to learn)...no detour is too big for him not to have a plan B up his sleeve, and by the end of the day you look back and realize plan A wouldn't have been half as exciting!!
I don't want to whine......I want to "go with it"
Don't brashly announce what you are going to do tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth. Proverbs 27:1
