We are buried. Almost literally. We received almost 30 inches of snow last weekend. It took us three days to remove the snow from our driveways and sidewalks. I talked about the blizzard that dumped on us HERE and HERE.
Tuesday evening and all day Wednesday, we got another 16 inches. I love snow and all the work and play it brings, but even for me, this is a bit excessive. I'm not complaining though. Unlike a lot of the people around here, I see this kind of thing as a great opportunity. Not only do we get to spend some time working and playing with family and friends, but it brings out the neighbors and provides great opportunities to serve others by helping them shovel out their driveways.
As "in control" as we think we are in our lives, it's events like this that help to remind us that we are not the ones in control. We can run around everyday going to work or school. We all have our schedules and routines. And while I am all for schedules and routines, it's nice to have something that forces everyone to stop.
All you have to do this week to see the fingerprints of God is look outside my window. But make sure you bring your sunglasses. It's pretty bright out there.
Fellow blogger Beki at The Rusted Chain has a really great weekly post she does every Friday called "Fingerprint Friday." We are to look around and see where we can see God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Anywhere? Go find out where Beki saw God this week, and be sure to check out the other bloggers who linked their stories as well.
