Whiter Than Snow

Published in City Gal Living In The Country, Me Myself and I, Reflections of a 20 year old, Saturday Psalm and Praise, The Daily Life at The Daily Planet, What the Bible means to Me- A 20 year old

that is what I woke up… if you know me, you know I DO NOT LIKE SNOW! So I complained (*gasp*) about it on my Facebook and promptly got a smack for complaining about it. First Mom said I need to learn to be positive about it then MamaArcher told me to go look up these Scriptures:

Psalms 51:7
Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Isaiah 1:18
Come now,” says ADONAI, “let’s talk this over together. Even if your sins are like scarlet, they will be white as snow; even if they are red as crimson, they will be like wool.

Ok… so I need to stop complaining about the snow since it serves as a reminder that I am clean in His sight and my sins are no more. HalleluYah! What a blessed sign from our Savior!

Sometimes we just need a little smack upside our heads to come back to where we need to be.

    Snow is a good thing. It gives the soil a time of rest and also waters and fertilizes it. I could use some here!

    I’m not sure about all these psalms and the smacking of the head, but I do know it’s a good article when it comes from the heart, and I do know whatever the Lord makes happen it’s for a reason.

    The only reason I would “smack” anybody over that is that they can’t share it w/me! lol

    I wasn’t really meaning “smack” but that it just struck me and sometimes we really just need it!

    Well, since there was an accusation and no smack… “SMACK”.
    lol

    Anyway, I look forward to hearing your pleasantness about the snow in the next few days.

    Love you and thanks for putting it into today’s Saturday’s Psalm & Praise.

    Haha – no snow where I live!!! Never!!! :D It is too near the equator for any snow to ever reach us!

    Me + snow would be an interesting experience as I’ve never been in the snow before… but I don’t know about three or four months of just snow though!

    PS: don’t know why my Mum’s pic is there in the gravatar – hmmm

    Since a gentle word can break a bone, I am sure it felt like a smack. The most convicting words to my heart often come in the form of a gentle admonition.
