Our church was cancelled today, due to the ice and snow storm we received here this weekend. So Saturday, we decided that we would invite ourselves over to Mike's brother's house in Nashville to play games with our beautiful nieces and fun Sister in law. They said yes so we packed up the car with Smokey and stuff for parents and toddler, for an overnight trip. We braved the icy roads and made it safely in good time. North of us, Nashville got a couple more inches of snow but we got more ice. After our fun sleep over filled with movie watching, board & video game playing, cousin bath time, spaghetti dinner and pancake breakfast, we were ready to return home (well, maybe not Michael, he could play Nazi Zombies all week if I let him) to our guard cat Oliver. :) The snow is rare for us and we think it is so beautiful but on the way home the trees, weeds and bushes started twinkling from the ice still frozen on the limbs. It was so beautiful, especially with the sun shining behind it. Finally we actually pulled off the road and stopped to try to capture it and whether you can see it or not in this picture (taken by me on Michael's cell phone! wow!). We are grateful we were able to see this and appreciate it. We are grateful for the peace in our lives.
We have people we are aware of who are suffering in one way or another and we definitely try not to take for granted that peace we currently enjoy. God bless you and your families that you are prospering and healthy. We think about our friends and family often, praying for your welfare.
