When It Snowed "Back Home" in Bama....

Isaiah 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:


A couple of weeks ago, they had a forecast for a significant snow event back in our home state. Now living in the Sunshine State, we miss the excitement of expected snow so I just got excited for my family and friends back home regarding their frozen precip possibilities. I emailed and asked folks to share their snow pics with me. Though the snowfall wasn't of the magnitude that had been forecasted, it still made for some pretty pics. Here are some that were shared with me:

This is my friend Diane's granddaughter, Alyssa, in her first snow ever... and it occurred the day of her 8th birthday. What a fun birthday for Alyssa~~ playing in the snow:

Tim's, Yvonne's and Emily's back yard:



Beau, Michelle, and their children Sara Grace and Jaeden enjoying the snow:



Terry's and Nita's front yard:



And a week or two earlier it snowed in Georgia.... David B. sent me this picture of Adam, Erika, and Caleb in their snow:




Thanks to all for sharing your snow-flake fun with me!

Ministry over lunch today!

It is a blessing to be called upon to be an assistant to the director of our Missionary Conference dinners for this year's Missions Conference. Our church brings in many missionaries for the conference, and it is our place of ministry to feed them at dinnertime on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday night. The conference will be held in mid-February so we are having a planning meeting today. Ann P. is the director of dinners and Peggy P. and I will be her assistants. In order to do some heavy-duty planning, we three are going to Norma's on the Bay for lunch today. Might as well mix pleasure with business. These girls are dear friends of mine so it will be a lovely time of working together in this vital function of the Missions Conference as we seek to be a blessing to our missionaries and their families.
