There's just something soothing about watching snow fall. I'm sitting on our window seat with a cup of chai tea in my hand, and life just seems... right. All of my questions and doubts have disappeared along with the few remaining tips of grass. The silence is peaceful. It almost feels as if God has hit the pause button on life and time is at a stand-still (although I can see the second hand ticking away, so I know it's not).
I'm almost done with my reverie (I have school work waiting), but if I can just offer a thought. It's so easy to get caught up in things that aren't even that important. People argue their sides, offend their friends, and become so invested emotionally in the things that are temporary.
About a week ago, Pastor Soto said, "When your eyes are locked on Jesus, you can't fail. It's when you turn your eyes on self that sin happens." I think having these quiet times helps us to refocus. Everybody should drink some tea on a snowy day......or you can have coffee, whatever floats your boat.
