It's Christmas!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Yesterday morning it started to snow. When I looked

out the window and saw the snow I screamed real loud.

My husband was worried until he looked outside-

then he knew, because I act like this every year about snow.

Even though it was a skiff- it was still fun to watch it come

down and drink hot chocolate. Around here we call that

a Swiss Alps experience.

But we have things more exciting than snow!

We have a Savior who came to save us from our sins-

and he can make our sins as white as snow.

I am just so thankful for Him and His sacrifice

of coming in a manger and then dieing for us

on that wooden cross. Praise be to Him!

 These two are quite a pair.

I just can't help but think of the parents who lost their children

in the school shooting. It makes my heart hurt for them.

Hold the ones you love a little closer this year-

and live life like you mean it. With a purpose.

Because in the end that's all that really matters.

Thanks to all of you who follow me here-

it has been a wonderful journey.

Blessings,

Hope
