First Snow
Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!! I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic. I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again. Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers. We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table. We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases. The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing. Th
Without this hope, we are truly lost!
ReplyDeletePerfect image for that verse! We need a trail of bread crumbs back to hope this year.
ReplyDeleteWithout Him, we have no hope. And in Him, we have all reason to hope.
ReplyDeleteI just happen to be reading through Isaiah (not Romans) right now. What a wonderful story of sin and redemption!
ReplyDeleteHope is such a great word. In life, we need to have hope or all that left would be despair. Nice reminder this morning of Hope. :)
ReplyDeleteThank God for sending Jesus, our Hope!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect analogy--a sprouting plant is such a picture of hope.
