Winter Storm Watch

Yes today there's a winter storm watch for where I live, and I'm pumped. I don't know about you but to me there's nothing better about winter than snow, let's face it it's going to be cold so we might as well have something to play in. For those of you who say humbug to that move to Florida and hangout with all the old gezzers. Or just wait till next week it will probably be like 85 that's just the way things are here. You know wait 15 minutes and things will change. Not so the case with God and I know I'm stating the obvious here but he never changes. The person who created and loves us will always love us. He never gives up on us he knows the big stuff about us, as well as the tiny things. He is all knowing all seeing and all awesome. Saying this brings me to my point I got an email forward the other day I probably get like 30-40 of these things a day from various people some I look at others go straight to the trash bin. Lets be honest if you want yours read you had better put a good title on it. I read one the other day that told about this social experiment put on by the New York Times. They put a world famous violin player in the subway during the busiest time of the day playing Bach and a violin worth $3.5 million to see how people reacted. Now I can't stand the violin or Bach for that matter but that's not the point. You see not many people paid much attention a hand full put money in the hat, but what they found was that the little kids seemed really interested. Two points came to me from this. 1. If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing because of our busy schedule? 2. The reason that little kids were interested is simple the world hasn't caused them to lose their imagination, or creativity. As adults our minds become consumed with paying bills, earning money, gaining status, or just stress so our brain shuts down the part that's creative cause it never gets used. You see I believe that hope lives within creativity, meaning when we were kids our dreams, creations, and imagination were our hope for the future. Now I know our true hope is in God, but when we begin to only see big things not the small I believe our hope dwindles. Then we begin to think that God is not listening to our prayers cause fire from heaven didn't drop down and save us from our current plite. But we are still breathing, living, whatever. What I'm saying is notice the small things God is doing for you and then maybe you'll realize God's in everything.
