"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:37-39
Another Valentines day has come and gone. This year we got a special gift; over a foot of snow! I am a true lover of snow. From the beauty of snow falling, to the way it throws a glistening blanket over the world, to the snowman building, snow fort wars and sledding; From the hearty snow food cookin, to the snuggling with hot chocolate; I. love. snow. But most of all, I love the way that the world slows down when it snows. We take time to play. My family feels just a little closer and warmer.
Snow is such a beautiful picture of God's mercy and grace. Snow is a sweet reminder that no matter how bad I've messed up, no matter how far I've fallen, God in his great love and mercy has paid my debt in full through His son, and He has truly washed me whiter than snow.
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." -Romans 5:8
Lucky for us, the snow did not stop the mailman from delivering! We got a heaping dose of love from across the country!
My husband has more faith in my green thumb than I do.....

"This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." -1 John 4:10
