According to kids, parents, teachers and most everyone around the weather forecast is predicting that it is going to snow tonight. I love seeing the snow, but sadly being in Hickory I haven't seen much this year.
This past Sunday night, I was spending one of my last nights in the dorm before Christmas vacation, and as most college kids, I spent my time on the computer. On my facebook news feed, almost every other one was about snow.
Either about snow in a good way or a bad. Some (the mountains) were along the lines of "..sigh, another snow day.." or I even saw one that said, "..boone is where you stand still for only 5 mins and you turn into a snowman..". But then there were others (most places that weren't in the mountains) that said, "..i wish it would snow a blizzard and school would be cancelled.." or "..please snow, i don't want to go to school..". As I continued to read, I also saw statuses from adults and parents not wanting snow, or some even wanting it. Now while these seems weird that I am telling you about statuses that I read off of my facebook...there is more to it.
Snow is annoying for those that deal with so much, that it messes up school breaks and plans, but snow is also the best thing ever when you don't normally have snow days. So like I said according to the weather man, there is bad weather coming in tonight, I hope that it is not so bad that school is cancelled, because I think everyone needs to have Friday as their last day before Christmas...but some weather would be nice, because then (Caldwell Schools) get a three hour delay..(theres not many of those).
Now moving away from the grade school mode, into the college world..
LET IT SNOW!
My Christmas break has already started, so the weather can't mess me up.. but even if it was during the school year it wouldn't matter..because LR likes to have school no matter what. Last year we only had one snow day and that was amazing.. because all the other colleges around us were out.
I am for sure a snow babe. I love the snow, and still love to play in it. I may be 20 years old, but still love getting bundled up and going sledding or having a snow ball fight! And making snow angles is a blast! I have so many memories growing up in the snow, but those will have to wait until a snow day..so if you want to hear those..you have to want snow :D .
As I started out this blog according to kids, another thing is it is nearing time for Santa Claus to come to town. I volunteered my time today up at West Lenoir Elementary School working with the distribution of angel tree gifts, and you will never guess who came to visit. Santa was in the house, bringing some goodies to the students, and then later after school my church shared some goodies with the faculty and staff.
During this time of the year, I think about all those that are with out heat, without a bed to sleep on, without a shelter over there head...and just to think we are hoping for it to snow.
Dear Lord, You are amazing, and who knows what are forecasting for us. I would pray that everyone think about those that are less fortunate then yourself. I would pray that maybe you lead a hand to someone else, or share a warm cup of coffee. Lord, you are amazing in everything you do. Please keep everyone safe and remind us to be smart when it comes to traveling during bad weather. Lord, I would pray that you watch over all that are freezing because of temperature, but also because you are absent from their lives. In your holy name, I pray, Amen.
