SNOW.... day 1

It started snowing here on Saturday morning about 10 a.m.......

This is kind of a big deal to us Seattleites, as we don't see much snow.

And it is still a VERY big deal to us who NEVER saw snow in California :)

I had coffee with a friend at 2 that afternoon,

and during that hour, the snow started coming down pretty good. 

I made a stop at Trader Joes on the way home, 

just to stock up (along with every other local person :),

and came home to this:

The children hard at work on a Mr. and Mrs. Snowman.

We live in a very unique area, I've discovered, labeled the "convergent zone."

That means that often when it snows, we usually get larger amounts than the surrounding areas.

Lucky us...... and I truly mean that!! 

The winter.... 40 degrees, rain, and darkness at 4:30 has been getting to me a bit. 

Snow makes it all better, giving me a little boost to get through. 

I'm so thankful.  

Thank you Lord for simple joys. For cold, clean, white snow. A boost to get through the winter.

A sweet reminder of Your purity and how You cleanse us of our sins and make US pure. 

I love you Lord because You are purer than the cleanest, whitest snow,

and You have the power to make me whiter than snow.

Amen

"Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;

wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow."

Psalm 51:7
