I'm LOVING it!

So, the weather people finally got it right, for the most part. They have been forecating snow all week and saying we could get a significant amount. About the time I got home last night (Friday), it started snowing. After about 1 hour, we already had 2 inches! It snowed all night and morning and we now have around 7+ inches. The deck has spots of 15+ inches from the blowing off of the roof.

Blue is LOVING the snow and constantly wants to go outside. Then, when he gets out, he just runs like a crazy man! He will even pick up a little to eat as he is running. Really funny to watch. Polly isn't as crazy about it. She gets colder faster so after a few minutes of running around, she is ready to get back to the gas logs.

And to think, I am staying in a nice warm house and Mike is backpacking somewhere in VA! Good thing his Big Agnes got here just in time. I am sure he really appreciated having a warm sleeping bag last night. I just talked to him and he said they had 6 inches already, still snowing, and it was forecasted to snow until 1pm tomorrow. Glad they are enjoying it! and have the gear to stay warm and dry.

Great is THY faithfulness!

I awoke this morning with this song in my heart and it's been with me all day. I am so thankful for God's faithfulness to me and my family. God truly protected my parents yesterday. In what was a very non-peaceful situation, God granted HIS peace that surpasses ALL understanding.

Great is Thy faithfulness, oh God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be.

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provide;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
to Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
