A Christian Sledder's PRAYER for SNOW
Dear God, we thank you for your goodness towards us, and for sending us your Son Jesus. Thank you for my brand new sled sitting in the garage, and for my new four place enclosed aluminum trailer. Thank you for the week off you have provided from my job. Thanks, for allowing me to get away with my family (and or the boys), thank you for your loving kindness.
Ahem. Now, Lord....about the lack of snow and lack of cold temperatures. We humbly ask that you wouldst smite the entire upper midwest and great lakes with a horrific snow storm, the likes of which we have not seen in fifty years, accompanied by extreme and devastating low temperatures.
Freeze up thy lakes oh God, and all thy waterways. Spare the cities from harm dear Lord, but blast the countryside into next Friday with your fury. Pour out your wrath in a mighty display of howling wind and deep fresh snow.
We thank you in advance oh God, for your mercies. We all promise, and covenant with you oh God, to be better husbands, and better fathers. We promise to be more generous, drink a little less beer, and be more forgiving with our friends and neighbors.
We also promise God, to ride safe and sober the rest of this winter...for real ... Thank you for your love.
Amen.
