Breakthrough Fast 2011 – Day 9 “Snow Day”

Who said it doesn’t snow in Georgia? Let me school you, it does. Actually, we got 5 inches of snow last night. For my Northern friends, 5 inches of snow is no big deal. But in a place where there are only 5 snow plows for the whole state (I’m exaggerating), 5 inches of snow followed by an icy mix of rain and snow is a big deal. So hooray...a snow day it is.

My kids were happy. No school again for them (actually, they have had only 4 days of the school in the past 2 weeks). No work for me; well yes, work for me but at least I didn’t go into the office. And with a snow day, a wintery play day for my kids, all the hot chocolate they could drink and the undivided attention of parents un-medicated by coffee, sweets and comfort foods.

I admit...in between emails and conference calls, I enjoyed the day as well. Well, for the first couple of hours...chasing the kids in the snow; sledding down the streets. Then the day turned...shoveling the drive way; hearing my pre-teen complain for the 100th time this weekend that she was bored; breaking up the 800th fight between my 3 year and my 4 year old and the normal...picking up toys and giving baths and feeding the flock.

Excuse me. My blackberry is buzzing. (I read the message) “Office is closed another day”. That is not good. (Blackberry buzzes again) “Schools are closed tomorrow.” (My Kids cheer in the background as a tear rolls down my cheek). Another snow day! Hooray! :) = Kids; :( = Jennifer and I.

Psalms 127:3 NRSV “Sons (Children) are indeed a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.”
