Snowy Days And Mondays...

 

 

 

 Oh, the weather outside is frightful....but the snow is so delightful!

We have had at least 12-inches (1 foot) of snow overnight here 

 in my neck of the woods in southern New Jersey.

There is still a "Blizzard Warning" in effect for our area until

6pm this evening as the nor'easter heads farther up the East Coast.

A "state of emergency" has also been declared in NJ as this storm

is probably one of the biggest we have seen in at least 30 years!

Monday Meditation: Whiter Than Snow

 

 

"Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess."
(Hebrews 4:14)

To heart and soul how sweet Thou art,

O great High Priest of God!

My heart brought nigh to God's own heart

By Thy most precious blood.

No more my countless sins shall rise

To fill me with dismay- 

That precious blood before His eyes

Hath put them all away.

My soul draws near with trust secure,

With boldness glad and free;

What matters it that I am poor,

For I am rich in Thee. 

Forgotten every stain and spot,

Their memory past and gone,

For me, O God, Thou seest not,

Thou lookest on Thy Son. 

Is all a dream? Thou canst not lie,

Thy Spirit and Thy Blood

Proclaim to sinners such as I 

The boundless love of God. 

They tell Thy love, so deep, so free,

They tell the Father's heart-

Not what I am, or I must be,

They tell me what Thou art. 

Come weary sinners, great and small,

The open door stands wide,

Thy blessed heart that welcomes all,

O Lamb of God, who died.
