I guess you sisters up north are probably ready to see Spring… but around middle Tennessee, when we get a real snow, it’s cause for celebration! We haven’t had a big snow like this since January 2003, and it was a doozy. Thankfully, this time we had a few days’ warning. School was cancelled, grocery stores were packed, and we all prepared for a few days of R&R at home with the family.
It’s been wonderful! We’ve played games, watched movies, stayed in our jammies, and played in the snow. Like most families, we’ve got our pile of wet coats, pants, boots, gloves, and scarves drying by our back door. Today Facebook was full of local snow pictures. And since Smelling Coffee is my virtual scrapbook, here are a few of ours.
I never see a full covering of snow that I don’t think about what Jesus does to our sins when He washes them as white as snow. No twigs or grass blades remaining… He covers them all, and we, like the snow in our front yard, are blindingly white and pure.
“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow” Isaiah 1:18
Thanking Jesus for his covering, and praying His blessings on each of you this Lord’s day, and hoping to play in the snow one more time before it melts…
*Edited to add photos from today~ We were much more successful today at making snowmen!!!
Before we knew we could actually build a real one, we took the top layer of snow and built a “block snowman”. It worked well enough…
