Yesterday I was busy getting ready for the first night of the cafe. Baking cookies and grinding coffee were just a few of the things I did. I also had to go and do some errands with my brother and soon realized how bad the weather was getting. I didn't want the first night to be canceled, but I did want people to be safe and also to show up. Cornerstones was canceled, which it's better to be safe than sorry, but I have all these cookies now! If you know me it's not good to have any baked items in the house, because they go fast. I know I'll think of something for those cookies. Since Cornerstones was canceled my family enjoyed playing a free rental game on the wii for many hours, and the time bonding as a family was great.If it just wasn't for the snow though we would of had cornerstone.
I always feel indifferent about snow. I hate driving in it, and also I'd rather be warm than cold, but when it is a day like today (clear skies, sunny, and no storms in the area) I love it! I enjoy the beauty of it and always think about certain Bible verses and one of my favorite hymns. Psalm 51:7 " Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD."Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." What amazing verses! The song "Jesus Paid it All" also reflects these verses by saying, "Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain,He washed it white as snow." Looking at the snow outside my window there is nothing I have seen that is whiter than snow, and here in these Bible verses we have been cleaned whiter than snow through Christ dying on the cross for our sins. When I think of snow I think about purity and how perfect it looks. So perfect that when the sun is shinning on it in just the right places it sparkles. So when you are driving to work or going to school think about how we are washed whiter than snow and praise God for that promise!
