Movie Morning

It's been an amazing morning.

I orginally woke up to help a friend move, but she called and said she didn't need my help so I should enjoy my Saturday. I went back to bed...or at least tried. By this time my brain was in high gear and I couldn't stop thinking so I just got up.

It had snowed, and was beginning to snow again. I needed coffee. So I walked to the store. It was cold, damp and peaceful. I love how a blanket of white slows everything down and makes you take notice of the hush that follows.

Upon returning home, I put in Jack Johnson, made the coffee, snuggled up under the afghan I finally finished and watch the snow continue to fall outside my window. Jack is a great soundtrack for this morning....mellow and strong. This were I am currently. Sitting, drinking in the peacefulness, thankful to be single and not have children running everywhere. Thankful that because of Christ I can approach the throne of grace with confidence and thankful for the individual blessings that continue to be brought to my attention.

The trees are dancing with the wind, a bird sits on the ledge shielding itself from the cold and I get to see it all. Thank you Abba.

thanks for the reminder that pop tarts with children can be just as peaceful as watching it snow.
