let it snow.

okay, i really don't like that song. playing it a million times every Christmas at the ballet studio has worn any of its goodness out of me. but it fits right now.

this morning i woke up to snow. and i was grumpy about it. i didn't want to have to go out in it. it looked cold and windy and miserable outside.

and then i went out in it. all afternoon. for music lessons.

and i decided that i was being ridiculous. kidding myself out of enjoying something so beautiful. so clean. so white. it made me think and feel these two things:

1. it made me think of how God washes us in Christ's blood. and makes us, as the metaphor goes, "white as snow".

2. its giving me the cozy feeling of a warm house, with a hot chocolate in your hand, and looking outside at the beauty of the ice cold snow covering the brownness of the earth. it's giving me the Christmas spirit. a month early:)

so let it snow. and snow. and snow.
