We were recently in Long Island, New York for the holidays (It was such a gift to be blessed with family time and much, much more - hallelujah. Thanks again to all who made it possible - you know who you are.). And as we were hoping, it snowed! The boys had never seen snow nor had they played in it; both got to happen! Of course, I enjoyed getting right in their with them (This Minnesotan knows how to play in the snow!!!).
As anyone knows, in order to make a snowman, the snow needs to be wet and sticky. It took a few days to reach that point, but the snow was finally ready when we went to visit a nearby shopping center. A pile of snow called out to me, and I brought Isaiah over to help me build his first snowman! Not being close to home, the supplies were limited. I was able to scrounge up an empty Nathan's beverage cup (hence the name of our snowman) for the hat and a couple rolled up balls of old tape for the eyes. For the arms, there were a few twigs from the above tree laying on the ground.
Oh, the joys of being free and adventurous! This is only the beginning of snowmen making for our family. The boys will become experts, I have no doubt!
"God sends his orders to the world—how swiftly his word flies!
He sends the snow like white wool; he scatters frost upon the ground like ashes."
Psalm 147:15-16
