White as Snow

Yes, things are different in the NORTH!!

While riding around (in a rented car), there is snow all about....all along the road it is dirty, but in the yards and rooftops, it is WHITE and beautiful. We took time to visit a golf course yesterday,and enjoy the downhill possibilities of a fun time!! The kids and Keenan went soo fast from large hill to large hill.....The reason the snow accommodated this fast action, was because it had rained and refrozen over the snow the day before we came. So, it is slippery, which adds to the need for downhill speed.

We first tried out Derek's backyard...he was in class. My first few careful steps were fine (I had on tennis shoes), but I took my eyes off the ground for a while to focus on the camera....bot for the girls who were swinging on a swing and then they took off for the woods behind the house and shed. At that moment, BAM...I was down. And, yes, I was laughing SOOO hard I could not get up! No, I was not hurt, but we had a blast running into the woods and exploring in the snow.

My first impression of the snow was correlating it as God seeing my sin as white as snow....then after treading on it, I am reminded that it's all iced over on the top, and I can slip at any time....alll the beauty that entice me also has its dangers..... May I seek to stay where the ice is solid enough that God's love and forgiveness will keep my eyes focused on where I am going.
