Weather Report: Snap, Crackle, Pop

Location: Port Hope, Ontario

Time: 1:32pm

Blue sky, sunny.....MINUS something...a few below zero! It feels strange to be so cold on such a sunny day. That's the way it works here in Winter apparently. Sunny Day = COLD. There's not even snow on the ground at the moment so the cold feels "pointless". When I was waiting at the bus stop with the kids this morning my nose was freezing inside. I love that feeling for some reason, it's so foreign! haha..it feels like rice bubbles up there, "snap, crackle, POP!"

The sun is there but everything remains untouched by it. The ice doesn't melt, the plants don't grow..the people don't feel warm outdoors! I was thinking about that and it made me think of God. How He is there, but so much of the time we remain "untouched" by Him...we don't allow Him in all His fullness to penetrate our little worlds of brokenness and lack. Of course, He does anyway, just because He is so gracious and loving. But how much more He wants to pour upon us! It's time to melt!

Speaking of melting, I'm looking forward to some Summer in New Zealand. No rice bubble sensations in the nose there. Unless of course one falls asleep in their cereal bowl.
