i never eat december snowflakes, i always wait until january

we can learn a lot from linus van pelt...
last night while watching "a charlie brown christmas" i couldn't help but smile, there are just somethings that can get rid of all worries even if it's just for a short period of time.
well mr. van pelt said something that i had to instantly make my myspace headline. it's too early. i never eat december snowflakes, i always wait until january.
true, a snowflake is a snowflake, but maybe the ones in january are that much better. perhaps it's the waiting that makes one enjoy it that much more. isn't this true with most things? but we are a society of instant gratification, if we want something we want it immediately.
i find myself demanding more and more each day, especially from God. there are things that are appealing that are placed in front of us now (i.e. december snowflakes) but maybe we are just being tested because we know something better is coming (i.e. january snowflakes)... i feel like my mind immediately gravitates towards the present. i hate waiting as much as the next person, but in all reality doesn't waiting for something make it better?
maybe i will begin to pass up those december snowflakes in anticipation for those january ones ;)
