Sunsets ‘n Snowflakes

That’s just what we had.  The last hurrah of fall was awesome.  This is the glorious moment before winter’s hammer comes down…in this game of chess…winter is winning by the bucket-full.  Old Man Winter has set the table nowand the scenery is blanketed in white.  I see a pattern developing here.  The leaves can run but they cannot hide.  The deck now has a 5 o’clock shadow.  Winter’s waves crash against our rocks and our prairie sports its new Christmas sweater.  This is a scene from “A Christmas Story”.  It’s winter now like it or we’ve a long road to shovel now.  Us versus winter in a cage match.  Take a lesson from the Evergreens:  face the winter with no whining.  Come what may we’re never alone without God.  So drink from winter’s cup and enjoy what you can.
