Soaking up the Season

I’m glad I went to English Corner. It was a valuable time. On the way home, I had the taxi driver drop me off a few blocks away so I could walk in the snow. There has been no precipitation in Beijing since the first week of November. I felt almost intoxicated with joy as the flakes danced around me in the dimly lit street.

The next day, it snowed about one foot. My friends and I played in it until we were soaked and shivering. I'm getting the most out of every season. I don’t want to overlook one season in looking too much towards the next. I’m doing pretty well with this concept in other areas of life – I’m still working hard at teaching even though a Thailand trip is around the corner. I am finding new things to love about China, even though I wonder when and if I’ll be called back to the States. Still, I need people in my life and big snowfalls to keep reminding me of the goodness in the present. Taste and see that He is good, my friends! How is He good in your current season?
