S N O W

The sun shines on the snow and makes it glisten like diamonds. The pure white snow is so refreshing. It reminds me of how Jesus takes a life of black ugly sin and washes it WHITER than snow.

Saturday we got a nice snowfall. The boys had a birthday party to attend at 1:00, so afterwards they got together with several friends and went sled riding on the girls dorm hill. They were more happy than two bunnies in a lettuce patch! Their cheeks were rosy and they were frozen to the bone, but they were chatty & delighted! I helped them get out of all their cold, wet clothes and sent them off to a hot shower while PJ's & blankets warmed in the dryer for when they got out.

Monday after school found them sledding on the neighbor's hill. Charlotte lives right next door and has a nice hill to sled on. (Unfortunately we do not have a nice hill to sled on!!) Then again Tuesday they went sledding at Charlotte's again. Not sure if they will get to go today since the temperatures are much lower today. It was 3 degrees this morning @ 8. Now @ 10 it is 14 degrees with the sun. But I was able to get some nice pictures of them sledding on Tuesday. My philosophy is "It's winter, so 'Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow' "!
