There is nothing more beautiful that waking to a blanket of snow over the lawn. The shrubs out front have little piles of snow on each leaf. I love the feeling of being warm in bed and looking out the window to see the snow everywhere.
Brooke and I celebrated the snow last night. After a relaxing evening, I went outside to carry out the garbage and was pleasantly surprised when I saw the snow coming full force. I am so amazed at how quickly the weather changes here. I wasn't even expecting the snow. I was told by co-workers that we are expecting a wintry mix. Of course, since this is Texas, I didn't think that we would actually get snow, I mean, this is Texas.
I know not to get my hopes up too high. The sun is already out and the snow is quickly melting. But, isn't that how life is at times? You see, we are never guaranteed anything. We have to be grateful for what we have at each season in our life. And, believe me, this is no simple task!
But, I love the simple reminders we get. Enjoy the snow, it is quickly melting. Enjoy the children, they are growing up. Enjoy your friends, they could move on. Enjoy the elderly, they may be gone tomorrow. Enjoy your family, you never know how long they will be close. Enjoy the fresh air, this could be the last breath.
What a blessing the snow is! Yes, it causes some complications on the road, but it is the simple pleasures in life that make the lasting impacts. I think that is a lesson God wanted me to learn through seeing the snow.
Family, friends, and life are precious...enjoy every moment!
Oh yeah...don't forget to vote today! We cannot control the past, but we can control the future...it is up to us!!!!

We didn't get much snow. Booo!!
I almost laughed when I saw the picture you posted with it. Any newcomers may think that was the amount of snow Celina got!
Although there wasn't snow here it was cold and I spent the evening reading underneath my very warm comforter.
