They are talking about breaking a 118 year record for the most snow in January. Not here though. Looks like winter.

Losing to Find
January 15, 2017
Whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.
Matthew 10:39
When I married my English fiancé and moved to the United Kingdom, I thought it would be a five-year adventure in a foreign land. I never dreamed Id still be living here nearly twenty years later, or that at times Id feel like I was losing my life as I said goodbye to family and friends, work, and all that was familiar. But in losing my old way of life, Ive found a better one.
The upside-down gift of finding life when we lose it is what Jesus promised to His apostles. When He sent out the twelve disciples to share His good news, He asked them to love Him more than their mothers or fathers, sons or daughters (Matt. 10:37). His words came in a culture where families were the cornerstone of the society and highly valued. But He promised that if they would lose their life for His sake, they would find it (v. 39).
We dont have to move abroad to find ourselves in Christ. Through service and commitmentsuch as the disciples going out to share the good news of the kingdom of Godwe find ourselves receiving more than we give through the lavish love the Lord showers on us. Of course He loves us no matter how much we serve, but we find contentment, meaning, and fulfillment when we pour ourselves out for the well-being of others.
When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. Isaac Watts
Every loss leaves a space that can be filled with Gods presence.
When we choose to follow Christ, we wont necessarily be popular. Our highest calling is not self-promotion or self-preservation. A hero jumps into deep water to save someone who is drowning, but that same person could well lose his or her life (to quote Jesus) in the process of seeking to save someone else. Jesus indicated that even family members (normally our closest natural connection) may be squared off against us. While others may become our obstinate opponents because of Christ, we are obligated to show unselfishness because of Him (Phil. 2:35). For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain (1:21). Its a profound paradox. To lose our life for Him means to find it. Has there been a time when the choice to follow Christ has cost you?

We were supposed to have a wintry mix today changing to rain and freezing rain this evening. All we've actually had is light rain off and on since early this morning.

Good evening, mountainlion...have your temps dropped back into winter?
We had almost 7” of new show yesterday, and they say more is coming tomorrow. Then temps dropping into the below zero numbers.
A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

To: All
Dear God: I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman, Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine feel alone or forgotten.
O Israel, hope in the Lord; For with the Lord there is loving kindness, And with Him is abundant redemption. And He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
Psalm 130:7 & 8

"TAKE UP THY CROSS AND FOLLOW ME"
"I Vow To Thee My Country" Choir Of King's College, Cambridge (Click)
"I VOW TO THEE, my country, all earthly things above, Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love; The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best; The love that never falters, the love that pays the price, The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
And there's another country, I've heard of long ago, Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know; We may not count her armies, we may not see her King; Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering; And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase, And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace."

What is left of the snow is now turning into ice...it is very cold and windy now.
Ahhh...Winter in New England!
I enjoyed myself last night at sis’s gig. I sang a few songs too.
