Look, What fun you're missing!

Snow, snow and more snow....

We finally got the big snow today, I'm not sure on the current total, somewhere around 5 inches I'd guess. I'll ask the kind husband when he returns from the barn. The kids have been waiting for this kind of snow, the previous snows haven't amounted to much and were not the best for sledding. The new snow tube (thanks mom) was ceremoniously inflated (with help from good friends and their compressor) and readied for action. Well, tubing wasn't working so well because the snow was deep so Barry pulled the tube and it's passengers down the hill behind the 4wheeler and then back up the hill. Uphill on the sled, every kids dream. The dog went nuts yapping and lunging at the girls and so had to sit ON the 4wheeler, back seat driving. After that, the new path made for better sledding.

Barry reports 6 inches of snow, and we're expecting a few more tonight and maybe some ice too.

The day seems to start more slowly when the snow flies, even though we home school. School goes on whether or not there's weather. No cancellation, but we were delayed. Barry fixed the 4 wheeler so we could plow our way out of our home. We did schoolwork. Tubing tonight. Sara has a guest for a school night, the goal is to do school together tomorrow.

Was reading in Colossians today, about the mystery of God. If you don't know what the mystery is... I'll be mysterious.... you can look in the bible, book of Colossians Ch 1:24-2:3. There lies the mystery of God, revealed.

Whiter than snow

God, This is how you see my heart because of Christ's sacrifice for me~Thank you!
You have washed me whiter than snow....

51:1 Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!

3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being,
and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

I'm so grateful that you planned from the beginning of all time to do this for us.. blotting out our transgressions. The older I get the more my sin seems 'ever before me', I have an increasing awareness of my need to be cleansed by the only one who is able to do that.

Bitter cold is the word for the night on the farm with temps currently around zero, and wind chills well below zero. The horsies are all snug in their coats in the barn and all other creatures safely inside. One barn kitty out somewhere, hoping she's O.K. A quick thank you to those praying for my vertabrae, I'm feeling much better. Our boy is sick at college (as is his whole hall), so he'd appreciate your prayers too. Thanks for reading friends and family!
Love & G'Night
