There’s nothing quite like a snow day. People enjoy time off from school and work while they play in the snow or snuggle up indoors under blankets. Even one of God’s grand creatures--the Bison is enjoying a snow day. But this guy isn’t just happy about it, he is downright excited and it shows. We know penguins, snow leopards, and polar bears love the snow. But who knew a creature of the Midwest would love wintry weather too? In this cute video, a passerby sees a bison run, romp, and frolic in the snow as more than four inches of snow accumulated on the ground. He stands for a moment and exhales and the frigid winter air condenses the moisture to fog. He dips his head and trots despite his fur being caked with ice and snow. He snorts, frolics, and romps, on and on! The plains are blanketed in snow and he’s acting as if it’s just another fun day of winter recess! Despite roaming vast distances in the Northern Great Plains, bison do not move south as the weather grows cold, though they may move to lower elevations where snow is not so deep. Temperatures will plummet to well below zero but these massive animals weigh up to 2,000 pounds and were created for this kind of weather as you can see in this video! This little clip reminded the viewer of God’s majestic beauty and playfulness. Later, it quickly went viral because of the Bison’s apparent joy of the falling snow. One spectator said, “Love it! Playing, rolling, dancing around. Then he looks at you and... "I'm just strolling along here.” Another wrote,” Thanks for posting this! I’m so jealous that you have Bison near your house. Alas, I must be satisfied with squirrels near my house.” While Lady Serena added, Is it wrong that I kept going “almost big guy, almost” every time they tried to roll over, lol.” I think we all agree with her it was comical to watch this fella roll and romp but never quite making it in terms of rolling over. Who’s ready for a snow day? “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold In settings of silver. Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold, Is a wise rebuker to an obedient ear. Like the cold of snow in time of harvest Is a faithful messenger to those who send him, For he refreshes the soul of his masters.” Proverbs 25:11-13

There’s an old saying, “Patience is a virtue.” One dog showed her display of patience by waiting outside the hospital everyday for her owner. There was no telling when he would be released, but this canine companion didn’t care. She desired to be reunited. There’s another popular saying, “Dogs are a man’s best friend.” This story proves that there is much truth to that sentiment. Boncuk showed her faithfulness to her human owner by doing something some humans don’t even do. She began waiting outside of a hospital after seeing her owner be driven away in an ambulance. First, she chased after the ambulance. When she arrived at the hospital she waited outside for her owner to come out. He didn’t. Eventually, her human family took her back home. However, being home was not an option for this devoted dog. Boncuk left and went right back to the hospital, again waiting. And still, her owner was nowhere to be found, so she simply waited at the doors. People passed by the dog, and still she kept on waiting. Unbeknownst to Boncuk, her owner was recovering inside. After her owner recovered enough, he was finally released from the hospital where his furry friend was waiting. And she wasn’t just waiting, Boncuk was happily waiting. After he passed through the hospital doors, Boncuk began prancing around enthusiastically at the sight of her owner. Where she was once very still, she then burst with energy. Finally, they could be back together. “She’s very used to me and I miss her too, constantly,” her owner commented after being discharged. He was also excited for his reunion with Boncuk, smiling as he spoke. Boncuk modeled both love and patience for her owner, that maybe we as people can take pointers from. “A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” Proverbs 17:17

Here’s a perfect video to remember the holidays. A father finds himself teary-eyed when a toy puppy becomes a real dog. The transformation was almost magic! The father, who lives in Idaho, was reclining on the couch spending time with his family. Off-camera, his daughter says, “We’re not here for me. We’re here for you.” Robbin, the father, had longed for a puppy for years at that point. That yearning gave this family a great idea, one that would truly surprise him. His grandson walked up with a nicely wrapped red Christmas present. Robbin took the gift and unwrapped it immediately. Afterward, his daughter came up behind the recliner and helped him read the note on the package. The note read, “Hi. I’m so excited to finally meet you. I’ve been waiting a really long time.” It continued, “My name is Blade. I can’t wait to be your shotgun rider, your best friend, and forever companion. Merry Christmas, Dad.” “Love, Blade and Keennebug,” the note finished. Robbin then opened the package and pulled out a black toy dog. “That’s for your truck,” his daughter said. “Cool,” he responded casually. This dog was a replacement for one he had before that was less realistic and very worn out. If the gratitude didn’t show then, along with the tears, there was another surprise. His daughter asked him, “Dad. You know how in the Night of the Museum everything comes to life at night?” “Yeah.” “Isn’t that based off a true story?” Robbin thought to himself, likely trying to figure out if this was a trick question. She asked again, and he answered, “I don’t know.” In the background, one woman holds a puppy in her hand, and he was completely oblivious. His tone and response are definitely comical because he doesn’t know what’s coming. His daughter continued, “Well, the reason I ask is ‘cause if it’s not, then how is this possible?” The woman handed him the puppy. “Here’s your boy. There’s your Blade.” His face reddened and his eyes brows tightened. He was definitely moved at the sight of the dog. This time the dog was real. From there Robbin went silent, turning his attention to the pup, and letting his emotions run free. His family watched and recorded, laughing with joy at the sight. This heartwarming sight is a great display of what family is all about. During a time where many stand divided, this family here stands united, sharing love with one another and even adding a new four-legged family member into the fold. “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” Proverbs 17:17
