Today is Day 3 of the Wives of Faith blog carnival, and they asked us to blog about our favorite Christmas memory.
In 1996, My twin sister and I were 9, and we went to our grandparents' house for Christmas like we always did. Us, our younger sister, two step brothers and our mom and dad.
Montana is known for snow, and this year was particularly snowy..."el nino" had made an appearance! My 9 year old mind didn't know exactly what this meant, but I loved snow days anyway.
I got a journal for Christmas. I remember sitting with it on the couch and writing that I wished it would snow so much, when we got back to school, that my mom couldn't go into work and had to stay home with us. Little did I know that the winter would bring far more snow days than I had even hoped for!
I know this isn't necessarily a "Christmas" memory...but I made my wish on that day, and it actually came true! We got several snow days with my mom! We also had enough snow that papaw had to get it off the roof with a little tool he built, and after the first couple snows even I could stand on the snow and see over the roof!
Merry Christmas...wishes may come true ;-)
Shows that God is listening to even the desires of a young child's heart. My kids are waiting for their first snow fall this year since they were too small to ever remember the duty station that they first encountered it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lisa. What a heartwarming story. I love snow and miss it terribly now that we are stationed in Nevada. Thank you for sharing.
