I realize that it is not surprising that it gets very cold in Alberta in January, but it is really cold this week... so cold in fact that the Golden Hills School District closed the schools Monday and Tuesday... though we are back to school today at Prairie Christian Academy.
Sarah and I have already been searching for a new(-ish) car with baby on the way... but this week neither of our cars would start and both of our amazing dads have been so helpful in "chauffering" us around for various things... including coming to the office even though there were no classes at school. They are soooo kind and helpful... and we are so blessed to have family around!
And this cold weather reminds us to be thankful to God for all the blessings we do enjoy... along with our amazing families, our warm house, plenty of food, a caring community and workplace, etc. This morning in our staff devotions one verse that challenged me from Proverbs 3:27 & 28: Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act. Do not say to your neighbor, "Come back later; I'll give it tomorrow" - when you now have it with you. Pretty challenging verses for us in Canada who... even amidst the deep freeze... have so much for which to be grateful.
