Popping in to share a few 2021 happenings that have taken place thus far.
We spent New Years Day with my parents and we soaked it all in since we had been quarantined during Christmas.
It was so nice to get out and spend time with family.
You can't really see it but, it's my delicious poinsettia drink that I had to celebrate the new year.
We paired that with our black eyed peas, pork, cabbage (Hoppin' John) and corn bread--you know, all of the new year essentials.
Poor Papa Steve & Mama Carol started off their new year with their mail box being hit...for like the (literal) 6th or 7th time.
Although 2021 feels no different than 2020 thus far, we are thankful for a new year and
looking at it with anticipation for change, growth, and grace.
This pas weekend, we made our way to the coast to see Jason's parents for a belated birthday and Christmas get together.
And then today! Today we had a snow day and while it was quite minimal, it's always beautiful.
Anyone else feel 10 years younger when there's a snow day?
I know I do. I feel so excited when we have snow days!
A Liturgy for the First Snow
O Christ, King of Snow,
we bless you for bidding this blanket
of white to cover us in holy hush,
that our hearts might be quieted at the sight,
that we might sense
the emptiness of canvas
over which your Spirit broods,
and upon which you would
create and recreate our hearts
in the image of the one whose
word first spoke snow into existence.
Amen.
From: “Every Moment Holy”
I also got pictures of these little cuties on their snow day!
It was so sweet because Mary Claire said that Ann Hatten has been praying for snow--what an answer to prayer!
I know she woke up thrilled and is enjoying her special snow day!
This one made me laugh so hard--Mary Claire said she did NOT like it once her hands got cold and this was her reaction to it.
Enjoy your snow day, Mississippi, and maybe we'll see you again next year!
