Where's the Snow?

"Don't complain about the snow on your neighbor's roof when your own doorstep is unclean." ~ Confucius

Do not misunderstand me; I am NOT looking for more snow. Every day that I travel on the highways, and even in the city for that matter, I am grateful for snow-free journeys. The first week of December has melted away and so has the snow for the most part. The wind chill is bitterly cold but the snow is almost non-existent. Hard to believe!

As I drove to and from a Hutterite colony today, I was thinking about going to the sacrament of reconciliation. I realized that I was doing quite a bit of complaining about the snow on my neighbour’s roof while I could not even open my front door due to the mound of snow on my steps. Sigh. I decided not to go to the sacrament tonight as my moment of enlightenment came. I hope to find time to go next week in preparation for Christmas.

How about you? What does the snow look like on your doorstep lately?

Peace,

Suzanne
