Warm Winter Thoughts
When I went home for Thanksgiving, it snowed in St. Francis, Kansas on Friday night. It was a beautiful snow. Fat, fluffy flakes that almost glowed in the moonlight. Another time, another year, back in Flower Mound, TX, USA, my daughter, Faith & I walked down a moon lit street just a day before Christmas. We ran, we laughed, it made a memory that is stored under "Warm Winter Thoughts". Other things stored there include:
- Small brown paper bags with chocolate candy, oranges, and nuts with their shells still on given to us after performing at our church in first grade, after the Christmas eve service.
- Soft warm blankets encompassing our shivering bodies as we wait for the heat to kick on.
- Decorating sugar cookies with frosting and sprinkles.
- Caroling with others from our church.
- Searching for the Christmas star while riding to Christmas eve service.
- Finishing the decoration and lighting of the Family Christmas tree.
- Savoring the endorphins and friendships after a "Jingle Bell" Aerobics Team Teach.
- Smelling the pine, the cinnamon, the chocolate, the vanilla, and the almond aromas of the season.

Any time we have a fire in the fireplace and are having hot chocolate...but especially when school has been cancelled for the day due to ice and the fire goes all day and we play in what little snow there happens to be, followed by chili for dinner and having the fire (which must be "real" wood, not gas logs) going the entire time.
Those are some great warm winter thoughts!
