Charlotte's snow event this week was disappointing for those of us who had visions of creating large snow sculptures in the backyard. I admit, I was caught up in the weatherman's 'measurable accumulation' prediction. So much so, that I purchased a 'snowman making kit' and gave it to my eight year old grandson, Eli, who with great anticipation, sat waiting for that first snowflake to fall. And some did fall, but mostly on the roads not in the backyard.
I felt bad the next morning when I saw only scant patches of snow scattered here and there. I knew Eli's dream of building a snowman were dashed and his little heart was disappointed. But I underestimated the tenacity and resolve of a nine year old boy. He was determined to build something out of snow. And if not a snowman, then a SNOWHEAD. He created something special with the snow he had been given. (see photo)

Today we can whine about what we need to accomplish our goals. Or we can be thankful for what God has provided, and determined to make something beautiful out of it.
