it's snowing!

My wish for a "white Christmas" came true, but our trip to Green Bay got cancelled.

We started realizing last night that it was not going to happen.....the trek through the snow would be too treacherous for us to attempt with the little ones.

It has been snowing steadily since 8:00am and is to continue until 5:00pm. We already have a "winter wonderland"..........trees and shrubs are bent low with heavy white snow on their branches.

What an amazing phenominum snow is:

white
delicate
gentle
soft
quiet
renderering everything that was brown and ugly beautiful again

Job 38:22 "Have you entered the storehouses of the snow?

Does this verse indicate that there is a place where God keeps the snow until He gets ready to allow it's beauty to overtake our world?

Thank you God for the awesomeness of a world gone white if only just for a little while.

Psalm 51:7 "Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow".........a sinner's cry to God for forgivesness. What a clear picture a snowy day presents to a terrible sinner such as I.

Later on, when Lucy gets up from her nap, we are going to put her in her bright red snowsuit and boots and build a snowman. What fun! Right know she is having a hard time going to sleep because of all of the excitement.

Maybe in a little while there will be some pictures on my blog again......

From cathy in her delight of being caught up in a snowstorm.
