STUCK AT HOME
DeKalb Central Schools closed today. That means there are a lot of kids home with nothing to do. Snow days were always a delight to me as a kid, because I got to do what I wanted to do instead of what the teacher wanted me to do. And what I wanted to do was exactly nothin’. If it was too cold to go outside, I just wasted my time in front of the television set or piddle around with my toys. I never had a project I could busy myself with.
These days, I cherish a day at home when I can catch up on a few projects (which now number in the dozens). Here’s a couple I’d love to get into today, if I could: Clean off my workbench in the garage, finish a family history book I’m writing for Anita’s family, get my tax stuff around, scan in a hundred family history photos on Anita’s side, and finish a book I’m reading on The Battle of the Bulge.
But, a little free time can be invaluable in relationships. If you’re stuck at home due to inclement weather, look for ways to interact with your family. Caring about one another is not only a biblical mandate for believers, but should be a natural desire of families together. Do something together.
