3.18.2008 - Whiter Than...?

Posted in General Day to Day

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

Psalm 51:7

Out our back door this morning.  White, everything was white, beautiful.

 

No picnics in our immediate future, but soon, very soon.  It'll happen, just you wait and see.

 

No climbing and sliding today, maybe tomorrow...

 

How pretty is that?!  Snow covered weeds make me smile.  I love simple pleasures.

 

So crisp, white, and delicate.  You don't see that every day, even in Minnesota.

 

I love having these pines right out back, especially when they're covered in fluffy white stuff.

 

Don't the big kid rope and toddler/baby swing look lonely?  Soon there will be swinging, soon.

 

A view up through the trees, with snow falling in clumps all around me...

 

So pretty.

 

This guy won't be ridden any time soon...

 

And this poor fella wasn't really needed today... this snow didn't last long.  It never does this time of year.  That's what makes it so special, it's so fleeting...

 

With all the kids sick, there were no outings today, and hence, no need to scrape of the van...

 

Picture heavy post, I know, but it was so beautiful out this morning and I just had to share.  Snow is an amazing thing.  So pure and white (except for the mud-plattered stuff on the side of the highway...)  I love that the Bible uses snow as a picture of what we can be when washed by the blood of the Lamb.  Do you see that whiteness?!  The Lord is good to us!

 

Enjoying them (my children),

because of Him (my Savior),

ali

Wow, that is gorgeous! We're still warm and sunny here... with the pollen covered cars to prove it.

And that swing looks eerily lonely. It is a blessing to have children to fill it!

Love,
Marsha
