Each year, school students who live in the northern part of the U.S. anticipate their favorite holiday of the year. What day am I referring to? Is it Christmas? Is it Easter? Is it President's Day? No. Why you ask? Here's the point. All of those are planned days off of school. They are strategically placed into each school year calendar and they are repeated each year. The holiday I'm talking about is the unexpected, unplanned, and surprise day off that almost every student prays for every time snowflakes fly. What day is it? What day can be better than Christmas, Easter, or President's Day? Well, if you haven't guessed it yet, it's called a "snow day." Schools are permitted to use 5 of them per year. Thank God for unexpected days off, once in a while, that break up the winter monotony. So, what does God do on a snow day? Does he ever get a day off or take a day away from the hustle and bustle of running the universe? The bible says he "never" sleeps or slumbers. He is on the job 24/7/365. Why doesn't he ever relax, take it easy, or chill out? Well, if he did who would make the sun rise or set? Who would watch over every human being? How would life be sustained? Who would keep spinning the earth on its axis and keep asteroids from colliding with the earth? Thank God he doesn't take a day off. He is forever faithful, ever present, and always in control. So, the next time it snows, think about God's faithfulness and enjoy it. Just remember who gave it to you!

That 24/7/365 job God has is THE reason we need to thank him everyday for what he does for us. To be honest, I never really gave much thought to the asteroids or spinning earth. Why? Probably because we are more consumed with our immediate surroundings and not really thinking outside the box. I just hope his "job" doesn't have a retirement plan. We should treat God as if Fathers Day was EVERYDAY for him. No ties, just plenty of appreciation.
