Snow began falling in the early afternoon on Christmas Day
at our home. Actually, the sleet came first then the snow came on top of it. Praise
the LORD for the snow on top of the sleet! By Wednesday morning, we had a good 4-5
inches at our house with those around us getting as much as 13 inches. There is
nothing like looking out that window in the waking hours and seeing a blanket
of snow. The word ‘purity’ always comes to my mind when there is a fresh snow. There
are no tracks in it from man or animal for a short amount of time. It may be
the closest thing to seeing perfect pure beauty here on earth, at least in my
mind. It is just so tranquil and peaceful. Then add to this a good book and a
cup of coffee, and this makes for one happy camper! The book I am reading right
now is The Harbinger by
Jonathan Cahn. I suggest it as a ‘must read’! It is totally thought provoking
in regard to America's future.
Speaking of the future, we are just days away from heading
into a New Year. Lots of New Year's resolutions are being planned by many
thousands of people even as I write this blog today. Some will plan to lose
weight, some quit smoking, some quit drinking, etc. Have you ever noticed that
most New Year's resolutions deal with taking something away? This year I want
to encourage you as a believer to add
something instead of taking away. If you will add, with a sincere heart, reading
His Word and spending time daily talking to Him (prayer) and obeying Him and His
Word, then you will not have to take things away . . . you will want to give
them up. Big difference!!
I love you all and am looking forward to what God has in
store for all of us as we journey together into 2013. Remember to pray for Pure
Joy and all the plans God has for us as we go into the New Year!
His,
Vickie
