I can’t even imagine. We’ve never owned a snow shovel. I hope you can stay in now.

Well, Penny needs periodic walks, so I do have to go out.

But she just runs out to the end of the walkway, squats , does her business, and yanks me back into the house.

She doesn’t like the snow either.

Hi there! Got some fluffy snow last night, plowed the driveway today. Went to see my horse late this afternoon. Not too cold today and nice sunshine. After 9 degrees tonight there is a warming trend into the 40s. Snow should be gone in a week. 😅

Tonight is supposed to be freezing, so I shoveled out again before calling it a day.

Hopefully there won’t be too much ice to chip away tomorrow. If it’s sunny tomorrow, we will have at least some radiant energy to melt the worst of the ice.

We had freezing drizzle a couple nights ago, and then sleet, which made a cement like bond to the driveway. Our vehicles and even the Bobcat didn’t dent it today when I plowed the new snow. I will be glad when it all melts. 😅

I hate ice even more than I hate snow.

[TheConservativeParty]

Me too. It’s dangerous to walk on our lawn. 😒

Stay Safe and warm!

Sounds like a nice day…..except for the plowing part, of course. LOL! Have a lovely weekend!

Part of the Family

Read: Ephesians 2:19–22

You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household. Ephesians 2:19

Downton Abbey was a popular British television drama that followed the fictional Crawley family as they navigated a changing social structure in early 1900s England. One of the key characters, Tom Branson, initially worked as the family’s chauffeur before shocking everyone by marrying the youngest Crawley daughter. Following a period of exile, the young couple returned to Downton Abbey and Tom became part of the family, gaining access to rights and privileges he had been denied as an employee.

We were once considered “foreigners and strangers” (Ephesians 2:19) and excluded from the rights given to those who are part of God’s family. But because of Jesus, all believers, regardless of their background, are reconciled to God and called “members of his household” (v. 19).

Being a member of God’s family brings incredible rights and privileges. We can “approach God with freedom and confidence” (3:12) and enjoy unlimited, unhindered access to God. We become part of a larger family, a community of faith to support and encourage us (2:19–22). Members of God’s family have the privilege of helping each other grasp the enormity of God’s lavish love (3:18).

Fear or doubt could easily make us feel like an outsider, keeping us from fully accessing the benefits of being part of God’s family. But hear and embrace once more the reality of God’s free and generous gifts of love (2:8–10) and bask in the wonder of being His. — Lisa M. Samra

What are some other benefits of belonging to the household of God? How might you approach God in confidence today?

Heavenly Father, thank You for welcoming me into Your family as a child of God.

Bible in a year: Numbers 15–16; Mark 6:1–29

Hi there, hopefully the snow in your state stopped by now. 🥶
Sunny and upper 20s here.
Not bad.

Had to go buy more bird food and suet. Still too much snow for them to forage in the woods and fields.

Have a happy Caturday!
🐯🐱🦁

Peaches is a very happy kitty cat!
🙂

Nice here today, getting warmer into next week too.

Good-bye to the snow!

Cheers for spring

It stopped, and, thanks to the sunshine, the streets are clear.

[TheConservativeParty]

Oh that’s good. Lots of heavy snow reports on the news yesterday. So much shoveling. 🤨

[left that other site]

Indeed. I shoveled all day yesterday and again this morning.

[luvie]

It sure seems to have for your local! Brrrrr!
