March 2nd Snow!!

On March 2nd all of Tucson woke up to a blanket of snow. I knew the kids at school would be fully amped up about it. On Thursdays I help with playground supervision. One excited 7 year old ran past me and said, "I never thought this would happen in my lifetime!" This made me smile and I can't stop thinking about it. He's had sentient memories for about 5 years. He hasn't experienced the Tucson desert enough to know this occasionally happens (usually once a year). Yesterday at a church conference the speaker said, "we over estimate youth's experience and underestimate their abilities." One of the things I love most about children is their ability to be curious and their enthusiasm.  I'm approaching my 45th year, like everyone else there have been some incredible highs and some lonely lows. A particular year we needed a financial miracle and it came! We called it the year of miracles. How does one follow such a year? I asked my husband what we should call the next year. He said, "the year of even bigger miracles!" So to the 7 year old expect miracles in your lifetime, look for them, acknowledge them because you have the ability from a loving God to do and see some incredible things ❤️
