What does snow do? That is the question. If you live in Texas, it makes everything shut down, schools, work, trash pick up and mail. Nothing runs, and nothing is open. You stay home and do what you need to do. We have had fun with this snow. It was an incredible amount for Texas. Brayden stayed out in it most of the time and the dogs caught snowballs as Brayden threw them up in the air. My honey and I went driving in it and he spun donuts in the empty parking lots. We talked, and talked and talked. We watched movies and we napped! Oh, the joy of an afternoon nap!
Today was Saturday and I decided to make Saturdays my weigh in days. Every Saturday morning. Well, today was a good day for me, because I stepped on the scales and the scales read....35 pounds down from surgery! I am 40 days out from surgery and I have lost 35 pounds.
My honey and I were talking about snow and how beautiful it is. It covers all the dirt and trash with pure white. That is how Jesus' blood is. Salvation/baptism cleans all the dirt and trash (sin) from our lives and covers us with pure white. It is unimaginable that one would give their life for me. But to think of the process, we present ourselves for baptism, confess that Jesus is the son of God and step in the water a sinner, full of guilt and sin and coming up after being immersed we are white as snow. White as snow and beautiful.
