So this morning I got my kids up, and got them off to school. We are just beginning our snow storm this weekend. They were excited and really were not focusing well, but their joy was contagious. Hubby is moving stuff around outside so we can host our yearly deacons Christmas Party tonight. The dishwasher is running, i have two other munchkins in various places in my house. And i finally got to sit on the couch and enjoy my cup of coffee!
My living room is full of comfy places to sit and anywhere I choose to sit i have an amazing view as the snow collects on the trees mountains, and grass. I know we are in for a doozy just by the sky. The sky is not gray, but just as white as the snow.
The Christmas tree in plugged in and I have Newsboys radio playing on Pandora. (I needed some peppy music this morning as I finished up Projects for tonight). The events of the last few weeks whirling through my head. My kids and Christmas constantly whirling around in my head like the falling snow outside.
I am grateful for so many blessings, my husband, my kids, our church, our home…..SALVATION…..PEACE.
In the Bible snow represents purity or being clean. When I think of clean in the Bible, I am reminded that usually it required blood being shed,. In the old testament and the gospels that was animals and then culminated in the final sacrifice of Jesus. As I think of that blood shed, i think of twenty little children who will be celebrating Jesus’ birthday with him the Christmas. As hard as life is here on this earth, these children are experiencing true peace like no other. As a parent of four kids….7,6,5 and 2. I cringe and shudder at my own words, just because I can’t imagine! I know truth but it is still hard! Each day i have to give my family over to God. It got a little harder a week ago today, but I still must!
