For any of you in northern Indiana I don’t have to tell you that we got a lot of snow yesterday. I don’t know what the total amount was but most places got at least six inches and some as much as 12, with more on the way today.

Yesterday was a long day for me. I began with a breakfast meeting at 6:30 am and didn’t leave the church until the end of an elder meeting at 10:00 pm. Needless to say I was tired. As I turned out the lights in the church and set the alarm I was thinking of the work that was still ahead: clearing snow from my truck and my driveway. But as I walked towards my snow covered truck one of the elders was brushing snow and scraping ice from my truck! Thanks, Aaron Clow.

I then drove home formulating my plan to clear at least some of my driveway, but when I pulled into the drive it had already been shoveled! Thanks, Gloria and Josh.

I walked into the house and in a few minutes I heard the sound of scraping on my drive and I looked out and I saw a truck with a plow pushing back some of the large piles of snow at the front of my drive! It was another elder. Thanks, Mike Bailey.

I just couldn’t help smiling. I went to bed feeling really blessed.
