I don’t actually have a snow day, I have a work from home laptop and any day that I can catch up with work stuff at home is productive, couple meetings too. I could even go in, but nah… No more little ones to go sledding, but sipping tea (even while working) is a dream day, yay! It’s only 2 to 3 inches of snow and the Subaru powered thru it superbly, as expected, last night with road already covered, so it’s not really a real snow day.

But what if it were? What if it were a REAL SNOW DAY? What then if we adopted a SNOW DAY mentality? And what if we just didn’t worry about work or things?? What if we adopted a Saturday day-off mentality, except did less chores… What would we be best to do then? Ahhh… SPEND MORE TIME WITH GOD.

The Lord is not a task master as much as He IS a Master Tasker. He gets His things done. He sends the snow to help the ground sleep. He revs up the sun to steam us into summer. He turns the days, the earth, the seasons. Behold the sundial clocks still study His Creation, and measuring time which is not even important except for knowing His Ways better. If I had MORE time, I would want to STUDY GOD MORE. 

Let us go get that tea, and sit happily with scripture and in scripture. Let us absorb God’s Grace, and absorb His Word for helping the world, that is where we apply our knowledge and encouragement. Heading the Word for the world, not the world for the sake of the race. His Hope is not a bad slippery slope – once you know Him a little you will want to know Him MORE.

Amen

Jeremiah 29:11-14 records: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”
