More Snow and more snow and more snow

Well, here we go again and again. As you know, I went to bring the kid home from college on Wednesday night because it was to storm on Thursday. Actually it didn't storm until Thursday night late. But then it dumped 6 inches of snow (they had forecast 12). So school got canceled on Friday. Then on Friday most of the day it was blue skies and sunshine. Then I was to work all day at the wrestling tournament today and really didn't want to. But yesterday they canceled it too. So my husband planned a fish fry for tonight with about 16 people. I started making salads and goodies and this morning I thawed fish. But then it started snowing really hard and this afternoon the wind is to come up and blow and drift all this wonderful white stuff and cause blizzard conditions. So now the fish fry is canceled. And tomorrow was to be the Nu Hi Chorale concert at church in the morning and the children's Christmas program tomorrow night. The concert is now canceled and the Christmas program is moved to A.M. with a warning to not come if the weather continues like this.

And so it continues to snow. I can only see the neighbors' farm off and on through all the falling snow. We did however, make it to town in my husband's 4WD truck to get groceries and a few final gifts and we actually went to the tree farm and cut our Christmas tree at this late date. The tree farm was closed, but the owner gave us a saw and said to go help ourselves. It was snowing hard then too and the snow was already past our knees, so we didn't stay as long as usual and weren't nearly as picky as usual. But we got a tree and now we can stay in and watch it snow and decorate it. YEAH!

Have you noticed how fitting the daily Bible verse is on here? I have no idea who decides which verse goes with which day, but it seems each one is so appropriate to that day in my life. Today's verse is Matthew 6:34; "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Now isn't that appropriate? I worried about the storm on Thursday which didn't happen until Friday. I worried about the wrestling meet on Saturday which didn't happen. I worried about getting food ready for the fish fry which didn't happen. I worried about getting to town tomorrow night for the Christmas program which is now not going to happen. So I will try not to worry about our son who is to drive out from Colorado tomorrow. I will try not to worry about our niece who is driving up from Arkansas today. I will try not to worry about our nephew who is coming in on the train from New York today. Each day has enough trouble of its own and thankfully it also has enough joy of its own. I hope you are joyfully enjoying your day wherever you are and whatever you are doing.
