Question

I woke up the other day to find that 10 inches of freshly fallen snow was waiting for me outside my door. The flakes were still1 heavily too. I didn’t want my little dogs2 in it, so I reluctantly 3 on my heavy coat and grabbed the snow shovel to make a4. I had only gotten a bit done, however,5 the handle of my old snow shovel6 with a “snap”. Laughing and shaking my head, I7 to wait out the storm for a while.
It was late in the afternoon when the snow finally 8 and I trudged(跋涉) over to my Dad’s house to borrow his shovel and9 again. By then the 10 inches of snow had turned into a foot and a half. I started out slow setting a steady10 and stopping to rest whenever my back started to ache. After a while, though, the 11 finally broke and the sun peeked out to12 me on. The work seemed a lot easier then even though it was still13. I even sang a few Christmas carols and14 while I cleared out the drives, cleaned off the cars, and shoveled out the paths. After an hour of hard work the job was finally done.15, I let the child that still lives16 of me fall back into the snow and17 a snow angel for the angels in Heaven to see. It felt good walking back to my house after a job well done. It felt even better18 around at this wonderful world of white.
I don’t know why life sometimes gives us spring days and sometimes dumps a ton of snow in us. I do know,19, that we can pray, laugh, love, and choose20 through it all.
