Thankful Thursday

This week I am thankful for the gift of time with family. As my husband is a teacher, he has had Wednesday and Thursday off from school this week for snow days and the brutal cold. This has given us extra time together... a gift I treasure.

In this brutal cold I am ever so thankful for the blessings of His care... that we have food and heat and provisions in this deep winter cold. We are able therefore to just snuggle in and enjoy.

I am thankful for the reminder of us being washed white as snow. The world around is covered in a blanket of glistening pure white. All the mud, and dead stuff, and ugly stuff is all covered and so beautiful. The hard edges are smoothed over. And everything is new and clean and almost blindingly white.

And I praise God that this is the gift He gives us. He makes us new. He wraps us in His robes of righteousness. We are washed white as snow.... beautiful, beautiful pure white snow.
