Glorious

I've been trying to stay really positive about winter this year. There are so many reasons to not like winter, especially now that I currently don't ski like I used to (the 6+ winters in a row that I did ski NEVER had this much snow).

The snow is now higher in the ditches than the road. Today we saw windchills of 40 below zero. Fun.

But I really don't want to complain. I really don't. People complain about the cold, and then oddly enough, 6 months later they complain about the heat. I would never dream of complaining about the heat. Ninety degrees and humidity? Ahhhh, bliss.

So when it comes to the cold, I'll bundle up and bite my tongue. And what's more, despite cabin fever, kids climbing up the walls, and ground temperatures hovering just above the not-so-great zone for geo-thermal furnaces, I will look for the beauty. I will stop and gaze at the meringue top fields, the icing covered trees, the city lights stretching long fingers of glowing light into the colder than cold night sky.

And I'll sing these words with David Crowder:

The day is brighter here with You

The night is lighter than its hue

Would lead me to believe

Which leads me to believe

You make everything glorious

You make everything glorious

Yeah, You make everything glorious

And I am Yours

What does that make me?

My eyes are small but they have seen

The beauty of enormous things

Which leads me to believe

There's light enough to see

Oh, that

You make everything glorious

You make everything glorious

Yeah, You make everything glorious

And I am Yours

What does that make me?
