Saving Up Our Snowsuits!

When it snows, don’t you just love standing at the window and watching the flakes fall?  We love the views from our sunroom.  The deer like to hang out back there near the woods.

Last year, in weather such as yesterday’s, the boys would have needed their flannel lined jeans, or even a snow suit to be in this room.  If they had friends over and wanted to play LEGO’s in there, I had to remind them to bring extra warm clothes.  And bring a hat.  And maybe even some gloves. 

You know, it’s not easy to play LEGO’s when you’re wearing gloves.

After replacing the doors, and adding insulation over the main house, snow gear in the sunroom is now a thing of the past!!

And boy is it nice!

Yesterday, while the wind was howling and the snow was flying, my little guy and I were able to watch from the sunroom in our PJ’s and stocking feet! As we watched, I was stuck by how fortunate we are.

God has always provided everything we’ve needed.  Whether it was extra warm clothes for our inefficient house, fire wood for our stove, or simply good friends understand and laugh with us about it.

But, today, I just wanted to say…

Thanks, God, for helping us to make these small improvements to the home you’ve given us.  It wasn’t absolutely necessary.  But it sure is nice. 

Now, we can save our snowsuits for the white Christmas we’re all hoping for!
