Oh YES! Enjoy that nice warm 80 degree weather!
It’s in the low 60s here in the tropics...brrrrrrrr.
And my relatives in Boston are burning bunches of Fossil Fuel running their snow-blowers.
Perhaps all the CO2 they release into the air will warm things up a bit for them?
LOL.
Could I ask you all to pray for my Mom? She is awfully sick with a cold and can’t leave her house due to the snow.
Thanks, FRiends!

Thank You.
She specifically asked me for prayer this morning, which is unusual for her. She must feel really bad.
I truly appreciate your prayers.

January
Little January
Tapped at my door today.
And said, "Put on your winter wraps,
And come outdoors to play."
Little January
Is always full of fun
Today we coasted down the hill,
Until the set of sun.
Little January
Will stay a month with me
And we will have such jolly times-
Just come along and see.
Winifred C. Marshall
Happy Wednesday, all!

Falling Snow
The snow whispers about me,
And my wooden clogs
Leave holes behind me in the snow.
But no one will pass this way
Seeking my footsteps,
And when the temple bell rings again
They will be covered and gone..
Amy Lawrence Lowell (1874 - 1925)

Our Source Of Help
Twenty-year-old Lygon Stevens, an experienced mountaineer, had reached the summits of Mt. McKinley, Mt. Rainier, four Andean peaks in Ecuador, and 39 of Colorados highest mountains. I climb because I love the mountains, she said, and I meet God there. In January 2008, Lygon died in an avalanche while climbing Little Bear Peak in southern Colorado with her brother Nicklis, who survived.
When her parents discovered her journals, they were deeply moved by the intimacy of her walk with Christ. Always a shining light for Him, her mother said, Lygon experienced a depth and honesty in her relationship with the Lord, which even seasoned veterans of faith long to have.
In Lygons final journal entry, written from her tent 3 days before the avalanche, she said: God is good, and He has a plan for our lives that is greater and more blessed than the lives we pick out for ourselves, and I am so thankful about that. Thank You, Lord, for bringing me this far and to this place. I leave the restmy futurein those same hands and say thank You.
Lygon echoed these words from the psalmist: My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth (Ps. 121:2).
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Still be our guard while troubles last
And our eternal home. Watts
We can trust our all-knowing God for the unknown future.
: Three times in this short chapter the Lord is referred to as our keeper (vv.3,4,5). This idea is of great comfort to the believer because it presents God as one who is not passive but active in our lives. To keep something is to actively guard and protect it. This idea is underscored by the fact that as our keeper, God does not sleep or slumber (vv.3-4) and watches over us day and night (v.6). How wonderful to know that the God who holds our lives is not disinterested but is constantly watching over us.
