Snow - not quite a white out

Snow has been falling in Harrisonburg since Friday morning around 6 am. As I worked in my office throughout the day watching the flakes fall to the ground and slowly build up, I was reminded of several times throughout the day how these falling flakes are like the blessings received from God. Typically they come softly and gently. Not in a whirlwind of activity.
About 5:30 pm, I started home. With about six inches on the ground, the roads were a little slick, but passible. After dinner with Aubrey & Clinton, we slipped outside to shovel the first round of 9" of snow from the driveway. An hour later, the drive was clear although it was coming down fast enough that the drive was nearly covered again.
This morning another 8" of snow was waiting to be shoveled. Aubrey and I got a good start, then Clinton returned from XC skiing to help us finish it off.
We didn't have a white out, but the snow continued throughout the day. Tapering off late afternoon.
It's been a blessing to see these flakes coming down like the blessings from God come to us, some come in a flurry, but not quite a white out, and some few and far between - but they still keep coming.
