Today I am thankful for . . . snow in April?!
It snowed today. A beautiful, big-flake snow. If I didn't have a calendar to remind me that we're in April, not December, I would have considered snuggling up in a blanket to watch a movie and drink hot chocolate. But my biggest takeaway was enjoying the unexpected. Snow in April, thankfully, is the exception, not the rule. I could have been frustrated that it was snowing, worried about safe travel, etc. Instead, I appreciated the surprise.
It occurred to me that this was a good parallel to life. When we have an expectation of how things should be, we are unable to enjoy the detour. So, I challenge you to look at your next roadblock as an opportunity for a change in scenery, even if it wasn't part of your plans.
Prayer - Lord, thank you for the chance to be fully present in my life. Help me to follow the path You have designed rather than the one I think is best.
