So, if you live anywhere near me you may have noticed that it as snowed a bit! ;) A BIT. Sense the sarcasm? This picture definitely doesn't represent the magnitude of this blizzard.
I mean, we got hit pretty good! So good in fact that we are banned to leave our home unless of an emergency until tomorrow night (Monday night) at 6pm. Which means that my 1st grader doesn't have school and I don't have to work my "other" job :) And I am not taking any clients tomorrow. And that I'm ok with. Until one of my rowdy boys ends up hurt. Which is very likely!
I love the beauty of snow. Don't hate me all of you snow haters! But I really do. I find it so beautiful. So calm. So quiet. So pure. It reminds me of God and how because of HIM we can be as pure as snow.
No matter how much we have sinned and fallen from Him He will always take us back and wash us clean if we just run to Him and repent.
It reminds me of this old hymn that I have loved ever since I was little...
What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus; What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Oh! precious is the flow That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my pardon, this I see, Nothing but the blood of Jesus; For my cleansing this my plea, Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Nothing can for sin atone, Nothing but the blood of Jesus; Naught of good that I have done, Nothing but the blood of Jesus. This is all my hope and peace, Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness, Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Now by this I’ll overcome— Nothing but the blood of Jesus; Now by this I’ll reach my home— Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Glory! Glory! This I sing— Nothing but the blood of Jesus, All my praise for this I bring— Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
