Listen

I am turning my ipod off.
Why?
Because.
You need to listen!
how often does it snow in Viriginia Beach?
Like, really, really SNOW.
Like, never.
So, here is my advice to YOU.
Go outside.
Or for our more tropical-loving friends, Stand by your window.
Turn off the music.
Let Him serenade you with His beatiful silence.
The snow muffles the noise and dampens the clamor.
Lay in the snow, bundled in miles of fabric.
He breathes in and out.
Puffs of little, cold tingles tickle your neck where your scarf leaks.
And it snows on the world.
And it snows on YOU.
And He LOVES ON YOU.

SO. Embrace the snow. Like my brother. :)

  1. Nothing like innocence experiencing God's beauty. My kids saw snow for the first time in NY in the end of December. We don't get snow in Israel. Moshe Dov is turning seven soon, and Tziporah is five. Fresh eyes seeing blankets of white streaming down can help older eyes see something they forgot long ago. But rain. In the US, you take it for granted. Here it only rains in the winter. Last few years were very dry. This year was blessed, thank God.
