Balancing Couples

I guess God has his own way of balancing every thing. After five weeks of good weather in Boston and temperature reaching almost 60 on Friday, Monday comes with almost a foot of snow.

In Job, God is credited with the power to send snow down from His heavenly storehouses to either protect and water the soil or to hinder the efforts of soldiers in battle (Job 37:6; 38:22-23). The psalmist enjoined the snow to join the rest of creation in praising the Lord by "fulfilling His word" (Ps 148:8)

In many areas, snowfall is an important source of moisture. Jeremiah writes that no farmer would trade a farm watered by the snow water of Lebanon for another field watered by a muddy or uncertain stream (Jer 18:14). God uses snow (which, having fallen to earth, never returns to the heavens, but instead waters the fields) as an example of the unfailing power of His word which, sent down to earth, accomplishes whatever He pleases (Is 55:10-11). The Jordan River, itself, was fed by the melting snows of Mt. Hermon. Snow also protects the roots of various plants from cold weather. Hannah Whithall Smith writes, "There is no frost hath power to blight the tree God shields; the roots are warm beneath soft snows, and when spring comes it surely knows, and every bud to blossom grows" (The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life by Hannah Whithall Smith p. 73).
I don't mind those white flicks, I actually enjoy them alot. These are something about them that bring smiles to my heart and ignite my thinking.
Your spouse may not be in love with snow, I won't blame her, not too many people are fond with is it as well. But I guess God has his way of balancing things even within couples who would love to see their partner just like them. But, God has his way of balancing that and putting differences in our relationships as couples. One snow storm  she may say the snow looks so pretty, it just like God is decorating the trees. I loved her comment and her new perspective on snow. That little comment made could make any spouse feel closer, or shows that despite our differences partners can sometime see an eye for an eye and admire God work in every thing even in snow.
