The Unexpected

I love that our God is a God of Unexpected Surprises!  We got to experience that first hand this week.  On Sunday, we were wearing flip flops and enjoying the 70 degree weather. I was thinking about pulling out some of our summer clothes. By Tuesday, we had four inches of snow on our ground. 


  I love that everyone in Austin was forced to stop and stay at home with our families.  All of our big plans for the day, all the things that seemed so pressing and important were cancelled.  I love a "forced" day of rest or in this case a forced day of fun.  



We enjoyed a good day of making snow angels,



building a snowman for the first time,


                      watching Annie chase snowflakes,

  drinking lots of hot chocolate and reading The Snowy Day for the 50th time. 
In the words of my sweet Kinley," This was a good day."
Thank you God for yet another unexpected gift.
