Living in the south we do not get very many white Christmases. Living in Florid we do not get snow at all...except for on occasion for about 20 minutes. Every Christmas I go up "north" to North Carolina to visit my parents, sister, and my nephew...the dog. When I arrived dad told me "it might snow on Christmas day." I was ecstatic! One, I haven't seen snow since moving to Florida...Two, well I haven't had a white Christmas since I was 13 and was living in Indiana. Well later in the week the weather was saying "no snow" "snow later" "maybe." So, I began to pray for a White Christmas...posted my wish on face book for all to see! Around noon time I hear my sister say "Risby!!! Its snowing!!!" I ran downstairs and saw these beautiful white snowflakes! I was hoping it would stick and withing the hour we had a light dusting of snow. It snowed ALL day and by night time the ground and trees were covered in white. I woke up for church and first thing I did was look out the window and saw the beautiful white blanket of snow on the ground. Of course through all this I was taking pictures PRAYING that my camera battery wouldn't die until I got some good shots. I only fell once...and learned that high heel shoes ARE NOT for snow (I didn't have any other nice shoes for church). I threw a snowball or two at my mom...and one at Ribsy. I resisted making a snow angel or a snowman...and wished to go sledding. I am so thankful for the snow the Lord sent!!!
