HE orders the snow~

 
SNOW DAY ~
in the South
 
the weather channel had
given us a warning
but, who knows
what to expect
 
 
 
of course we don't know how to
keep it straight, we usually
don't drive under these
conditions but once a year or twice
MAYBE
 

 
but these nice guys helped straighten him back up ~
(the one on the far right is my husband)
I sat in the truck taking pics. :)


 
It snowed really hard in a short period of time.
 
 The remaining pictures, I took
while on our drive into town.
 


 
 
The flag picture was taken
while driving down the road
with the window down.
I believe it is my favorite!
 

 
 
There is just something about snow~
"the child in me returns"
 
But, the beauty & stillness
is such a wonderful reminder
of God, Our Creator.
 
Job 37:1-13  The Message
Whenever this happens, my heart stops— I’m stunned, I can’t catch my breath. Listen to it! Listen to his thunder, the rolling, rumbling thunder of his voice. He lets loose his lightnings from horizon to horizon, lighting up the earth from pole to pole. In their wake, the thunder echoes his voice, powerful and majestic. He lets out all the stops, he holds nothing back. No one can mistake that voice— His word thundering so wondrously, his mighty acts staggering our understanding. He orders the snow, ‘Blanket the earth!’ and the rain, ‘Soak the whole countryside!’ No one can escape the weather—it’s there. And no one can escape from God. Wild animals take shelter, crawling into their dens, When blizzards roar out of the north and freezing rain crusts the land. It’s God’s breath that forms the ice, it’s God’s breath that turns lakes and rivers solid. And yes, it’s God who fills clouds with rainwater and hurls lightning from them every which way. He puts them through their paces—first this way, then that— commands them to do what he says all over the world. Whether for discipline or grace or extravagant love, he makes sure they make their mark.
