Blizzards and Fun








Last night, we went to bed trying to think what we could do as a family for spring break.

This morning we woke up to find the decision was made for us. We were iced and snowed in - again!

Our oldest son, Jacob, decided to go outside and see what the weather was all about - he geared up in his snow suit and went outside.

We all stood at an open window and watched as he braved his way through the snow to his swingset - once he got there, he waved to us and turned immediately around and walked back to the house.

When he came inside, he was so excited that we let him do that alone. =-)

We've had fun talking about Jacob's brave expedition - especially his brother and sister - WOW! They really admire him for that! =-)

Later, when Mark and I were alone, we laughed about how our son thought he was alone, little did he know, that Mark had his shoes on, ready to run outside to help him if needed.

Isn't that like our Savior? We don't need to feel like we're all alone, God is watching us and is there with us every step of the way, even though we can't see Him.

I'm so thankful for our children, they help remind me that God is always with us and we don't have to worry about anything! =-)
