Winter is Back; But I'm Safe!

It sure was nice to have those 3-4 days of mild temperatures and sunshine. Even my furnace relaxed and stopped rousing itself to roar and blow more hot air up the vents every 15-20 minutes.

However, I heard on the radio this morning that the places south of the Transcanada Highway have almost every road blocked with too much snow. They were advising to stay put wherever you are. This is also true in parts of the USA. I feel sorry for them; I know being snow-bound is not good news.

So when I looked out the windows and saw that we only have about 2 cm of snow and it is laid down as gently as a silk sheet, I know I should be grateful, even though our temperatures are up to -18C.

Now I am extra thankful to God for the business work agenda I have which I can do safely from right here in front of my desktop computer. I really don't have to think about going out except for Church on Sunday and eventually maybe for more groceries.

Of course, I know this may not be true for you. YOU may have to go out to work - unless you can prove that your roads are all blocked. My sincere sympathies to you in such cases. May the LORD open up the roads for you when you need them most, and may you be able to accomplish the work you have been given to do.

IF you are given a situation where you cannot leave home, decide to accept it as a gift and try to use it wisely. It is not going to last too long. If nothing else, take a good long nap. (I heard the other day from a doctor on a medical Youtube video, that common things like getting some sunshine on your face, or getting enough sleep will help boost your immunity. Ah-ha! Free health remedies!)
