greetings!
it is actually wednesday, 12.23 -- i found the internet [at panera bread in uniontown PA] -- "down the mountain" from nancy's parents' home in the boonies...
it is cold...
teens at night -- 30's in the daytime...
we are butt-deep in snow...
it is BEAUTIFUL [because we can leave in a week and get back to FL]...
the sun did peek through for awhile today -- the first time since we left...
the drive was a little over 1100 miles...
we drove sunday until 3 a.m.
we spent the night in wytheville VA because of the black ice that was making travel dangerous in WV...
the roads were OK by monday morning -- but it did "spit" snow on us all the way home to PA...
WE MISS JEEP [our new little white Boxer -- check out the pics josh [posted of our little man]...
we might have lost him in the snow if we had brought him -- ha! ha!
he may have frozen while going out in the northern elements to pee or poop...
on to more spiritual matters...
henri nouwen on WAITING in Luke's gospel: "Those who were waiting had each received a promise that gave them courage and allowed them to wait. They received something that was at work in them, a seed that had started to grow...We too can wait only if what we are waiting for has already begun for us. Waiting is never a movement from nothing to something, but a movement from something to something MORE..."
"Just as a mother feels the child grow in her and is not surprised on the day of the birth but joyfully receives the one she learned to know during her waiting, so Jesus can be born in my life slowly and steadily and be received as the ONE I learned to know while I am waiting..."
what is the SOMETHING MORE you are waiting for this Christmas and in 2010???
blessings from the far north...
