Spring snowstorms produce perfect puddles

Every year our little fellowship celebrates the resurrection of Christ with a sunrise service around a campfire. While it is always chilly in the predawn hours at this time of year, it had yet to also be wet and white. On April 12 of this year, however, we awoke to falling snow. But, alas, the campfire still blazed as we gathered around it. It was an incredible experience to be sure.

Following our time of praise and worship in the snow, we went inside to share breakfast and then we had another worship service in the warm, dry shelter of our chapel. During this time, it snowed six inches!

On Monday, temperatures rose to the mid-fifties and, by the time the kids came home from school, several large puddles had formed on our property. Grace begged to play in them. With her jeans rolled up and snow boots on, she happily galloped through her little bit of paradise on earth.
