Snow

Today was a snow day.  That meant I didn't have to work this afternoon after I was done at church.  But, since the youth didn't have school, there were several that had told me they were bored throughout the day.  It's funny how they say they don't want to be at school but when school is out they don't know what to do.  I think most of them spent the day online or watching random tv shows.
So, after being at the church, I headed to get ice cream w/ a youth.  We got the idea to go sledding, but it was a little too late.  It was close to being dark and I didn't think it would be a good idea.  So, we decided to go to the church to build a snowman.  We called a few others to meet us there.  We were the first to arrive.  When the other carload got there, the mom came barreling toward me and we tumbled into the snow, laughing so hard I could hardly get up.  As it turned out, the snowman never got built, but we all got covered in snow and we had a great time playing!  I needed that.
I had a list of things to do- work out, grocery shop, pay bills, etc.  They didn't get done, but the list will be there tomorrow.  The chance to play and be silly with friends doesn't happen often enough.  And, for my youth I think they need to see that fun doesn't have to include electronics.  It can be spending time with friends in the beauty God created- His own snowy playland!
So, where was God today?  He was there giving me a chance to play, to have a snowday!
