It is that delightful time of year when regular snowfalls pay a visit to the Central Pennsylvania area. Today was a day when the timing of the snow was just late enough to allow our kids to go to school.
When I left around 7 a.m. with my 9th grader, there was absolutely no precipitation. But as we neared his school, I was able to see faint white specks descending from the sky. By the time I was headed home, lights swirls of white were dancing across the road as commuters raced to and fro.
I entered our driveway to a cascade of steady snow coming down and beginning to stick on the ground. Right then and there I decided to leave earlier than usual--as in a half hour early. My youngest and I hopped into the car and started the trip.
Did I mention I am not a fan of driving in the snow? I've had at least one snow accident in the past and have gotten stuck more times than I can recall. Recognizing that this was just the start of the snow, I knew that the roads would not be in the best condition. Needless to say I was not looking forward to this drive.
We turned out of our neighborhood and headed down a nearby road to reach the highway. Immediately after turning onto the main road that connects to the highway, I hear a glorious sound...a clicking and snapping underneath my tires...SALT! Woohoo! Identifying the presence of this miracle mineral helped to calm my nerves and put my mind at ease.
Do you ever respond like this in your circumstance when you think of Jesus? Have you ever been worried, scared, or frustrated only to be reminded of Who is inside of you and the certainty of His promise to always be with you? I want to hear about it and so do others. Please share and thanks!
