"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house." Matthew 5:14-15

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it." Matthew 13:45-46

Snowy Day

This morning I went for a walk
And much to my delight snow was beginning to fall.
The more that I exercised with my friend
The heavier the precipitation came.

I couldn't help but glory in God's creation,
And thank Him for the beauty of the day.
I smiled as a dusting of snow started covering the ground.
And laughed at the antics of my friend's dog.

I returned home with a spring in my step.
I declared a day off school for me and my two boys.
We will spend the day decorating and baking,
And just rejoicing in the day we are having.

We laughed as we sat down for breakfast.
The birds were digging through the snow.
Birds with snow beards are a funny sight.
We praise God for this gift and pray it snows until night.
