Ladies and Gentlemen.......It's a Snow Day!

So for those of you who have watched the news over the past 24 hours, you may have notice that there was a little snowstorm that came through the Midwest. It was an interesting night for the McCoy family. My wife and I went to bed about 1:00am because I wanted to see how much snow would fall and see if my company might call a snow day. This began my adventures. First we went into our boy’s room and found it was a little chilly in there. Well that tends to happen when there is a big sweater covering up the heater vent. Then we go into our room, which one wall faces the north, and discover that the wind coming from the north was blowing through one of the electrical sockets. Man it was cold in there. I was really glad to find out that the leak was coming from that socket in the wall. Glad? Well yes, because it was either a leak from the socket or I was going to start seeing dead people.
So to the topic at hand, the snow. I love the snow. Since I am from El Paso, Texas we did not get a lot of snow. Actually only once in my life do I remember a heavy snowfall.


But today was a good snow day. We got about eight to ten inches over the area, but figuring in the snow drifts we had around the house we had one area that was almost three feet tall.


I love to play in the snow, and see what fun we can have. It was so fun to see the boys playing and just having a good ole time. The snowdrift that was almost three feet high and we had a mini hill to sled down. I shall call it…Mini Hill. We spent about three hours outside playing and cleaning up the driveway and sidewalk areas. But sometimes in these great times, God just has a little conversation with you.

Before I got really into the work I stopped and just started staring at the snow and that famous scripture came to my mind. (Isaiah 1:18) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. I sat and just stared at the whiteness of the snow. It is so beautiful when it is untainted. No dirt, no sludge, no road traffic stuff on it, it is just pure. It made me so happy to know that when my God looks at me know that he doesn’t see that dirty sin anymore, but that he sees the white snow. Clean and pure.

Man I am so glad for those times that the Lord just says, hey before you shovel that snow and go play in it, remember I love you, I will always love you and now that you are saved and one of my children, I will never see that dirty sin filled snow anymore. Man with that in mind it makes me want to say…Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
