Home Happenings and Snow Day

As I think about the last fews days and the days to come, I'm watching snowflakes gently falling toward the ground and covering everything in sight.  

The snow is beautiful as it covers nature and causes reason to stay inside out of the freezing temps.  The grey skies light the sky as fluffy flakes trickle down.  

Hubby and Daughter are home from work as we are all snowed in.  This is answered prayer to me.  I had wanted one more SNOW episode before Spring blows in.  The only thing that would make this better would be to sit by a cracklin' fire from a fireplace. 

We don't have a fireplace in this rock house as she was built in 1885 and the victorians believed that fireplaces were unhealthy and dirty. 

Warmed with hydronic (hot water) heat radiators, there's no smoke, but the radiators need dusted as dust settles on them throughout the year.  They will get a thorough cleaning next Fall in preparation for cold weather use.  

Which reminds me, the Chandies will need cleaned in the Spring.  It's time.

There are 23 occurences of the word "snow" in the New International Version of the Bible - 21 in the Old Testament and 2 in the New Testament. 

Some of them are: 

Proverbs 25:13 
Like the coolness of snow at harvest time is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him; he refreshes the spirit of his masters.

Job 37:6
He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth,' and to the rain shower, 'Be a mighty downpour.' 

Matthew 28:3
His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 

Revelation 1:14 

His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.

 

VALENTINE'S DAY has come and gone.

Warm wishes, chocolates, cards and spending time with LOVED ONES made for a pleasant and satisfying holiday.

One of the good things I did for me 'ole self this week was to go and have my Beautician shape and trim my hair.  So I have my early Spring Haircut a bit early.  

Lil Miss was home this week due to running a temperature and having a cough.  We watched the 2000 Dream Works American animated musical JOSEPH: King of Dreams with Ben Affleck being the voice of Joseph, Star Wars Mark Hamill as Judah and Potiphar's Wife, Zuleika's voice is by Who's the Boss Judith Light.  This particular video was purchased at a Topeka Thrift Shop for under a dollar.

I wish that movies like this had been available to watch when I was a child to help bring to life Biblical Characters.  

This movie is tastefully done, entertaining and the songs catchy. 

No television today.  
Best put some MUSIC on to listen to.

With such upheaval in the world, 

I find stability in God.

He is the ROCK.

Better run.

Need to wash my hair, thin through some more clothing and sew.

I have great plans to SEW!

Let 'er happen.

God bless you and be well,
