Moment of Peace: Looking out the church windows during the sermon and seeing it snowing.
Moment of Joy: The awe-filled reaction and excited expression of the little boy who saw the same thing.

Moment of Peace: Being outside, tramping around in the lovely snow, taking care of all the animals.
Moment of Joy: When the scent of Douglas firs hit me in the face in the Christmas tree lot.

Moment of Peace: Standing on the porch with a warm bowl of homemade maple sugar and cinnamon oatmeal in my hands, surrounded by yet another snowfall coming down so beautifully - the comforting contrast between warm and cold was bliss.
Moment of Joy: Opening the ornament boxes and re-living a hundred memories

Moment of Peace: When going to Grandma's last evening, the view of our moonlit house as the chimney smoke hung in a line in the air.
Moment of Joy: Lying in bed and being able to see the trail of Christmas lights snaking up the huge pine outside Eli's window.

Thank you so much for the beautiful word pictures -- I can see and feel everything you share. Isn't it just so sad that I have to BUY my pretty snow scenes on Christmas cards? You get to have the REAL deal... ha. How I miss my Missouri winters... My PA daughter loved a couple cozy no-school days with her boys!
Thanks for delivering a bit of frost and starlight to your friend who lives in a place where there is neither!
Aw! I love the memories that christmas ornaments bring! Some good and some bad...haha ;)
Brianna - I am SO thankful that God gave us memories what a gift!
Lori - I wish that I could box up a pile of snow and ship it to you!! We're supposed to get more tomorrow - it sure does make a lovely backdrop for Christmas festivities . . .
