A Pure Covering

It’s snowing today.

Lots of great, big, fluffy flakes. Falling, swirling, floating, drifting.

Covering, hiding and transforming the world out my windows.

I love the snow! I couldn’t imagine living where the winters are snow free. It speaks to my heart of a cover of purity.  Of a surrounding cleanliness.

Brightening, cleansing, covering.

Just as Jesus does for me and for you.

It reminds me I am forgiven. And not just once, but often, always and forever!

Yes, the snow is a blessed reminder of how Loved I am by my Savior.

“Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.” Psalm 51:7b

This Saturday will begin the new meme of Simply Saturday here on my blog.

home-2

If you would like to join in, take a picture in or around your home that speaks to you of simplicity or of the joy of home.  Any level of photographer is welcome! Then on Saturday come here and link up your post! If you look on the side bar I have created a button, feel free to grab that and add it to your blog sidebar or Saturday post. I’m looking forward to seeing what speaks to you of home and simplicity!

  4. Me too! I LOVE the snow! I am actually distinctly happy on days that it is snowing. Last week we turned the dining room table to face the window so we could all watch the snow falling down during school. Who could fathom going downstairs in a room with no windows on a day it is snowing!!
