I would say 'White as Snow'

I say that because of what the weather has done this week and right now as I am typing this post. It is snowing and has been off and on all this week. Last weekend when we were having our Christmas choir/orchestra weekend at church, I was standing by the door looking at the snowfall. There were a couple of guys also looking and one of them said, 'He washed us white as snow' referring to how Jesus died on the cross to take away our sins and make us white as snow. To see that beautiful white stuff falling from the sky and hearing that comment, it really spoke truth. I am so glad that we had that celebration last weekend as we just found out that they canceled church service tonight and 1st service in the morning.
Speaking of choir and orchestra, as I mentioned before, we did Send the Messiah again this year. Saturday when we rehearsed it, it didn't go too well, and I had said a prayer that we would do better in service. Well, it was almost fine Saturday service and then we went through it Sunday morning before service and did a lot better. I hope everyone enjoyed the services that came and celebrated the season with us. The pastor told a Christmas story using a stuffed lion and lamb which I thought was cute for visual aids.
Two Saturdays ago, I went to my great-great aunt's 90th birthday party in Canby. She is on my mom's side of the family and I got to wish her a happy birthday, and she looks really good for being 90 years old. Actually, her birthday is right after Christmas and they figured that would probably not be a good time to get everyone together. On that same day was my great-aunt's birthday so it was like a double birthday celebration. There were a lot of people there I did not know at the party but there were people on the 'other' side of her family that we hadn't met. So, after the party, I left with Alyssa and went to the Woodburn outlets to do a little Christmas shopping. That was fun as we don't get to do a whole lot together just the two of us. I treated ourselves to pretzels before we left, which were really good. Once we got out of the parking lot and out of the traffic and taking a detour because of an accident, we got to church late. Service was good though and we had group afterwards. I taught in our group last weekend and I thought it went pretty good.
Well, I hope you enjoy the snow and be safe and warm these next couple days. I do have to thank the Lord as He kept my sister and I safe getting to/from work each day this week. Some days were not full days but I think our bosses were happy we made the effort to get in. Bad timing though as it was a payroll week at my work, but managed to get it done.
