[im-pri-mis] Only ONE Life to Live for Christ!

The weekend zipped by quickly, and with it the beautiful 60-70 degree weather.  Yesterday morning we awoke to grey, cloudy skies and cold. 

We got sleet yesterday, and this morning our street has ice on it.  The highways were like a parking lot due to the bad weather yesterday. 

On Sunday afternoon, our church went caroling at a local nursing home, where we also passed out small gifts to the residence.  Caleb, Phoebe and I played our instruments for the people as we walked down each hallway caroling with the people from our church.  After the time of caroling at the nursing home, we went back to the church for some fellowship, food and fun.  Some of our friends had come with their 3 children, and we enjoyed playing with them along with the twins who go to our church.  It was pretty noisy there for a while.

After we had enjoyed the food, we cleaned up and then those of us who stayed around went to the sanctuary to watch The Star of Bethlehem   which is the hypothesis of one man who has studied about what the star could have been, in real history.   It is a powerful, stunning film and several people were very interested in viewing it again. 

Today it is very cold, 24.8 degrees to be exact, but with the wind-chill it’s 17.   Brrr!   I do believe that I will be staying in my beautiful, cozy and warm house all day.    It is beautiful, in almost a rugged way, the sky so heavy with clouds its hard to imagine it not being very cold, the wind whipping the bare limbs of trees, sleet falling.  I am very thankful for a warm house with central heat on days like these.  Knowing that there are people living under bridges, in their cars, or at a homeless shelter makes me realize how very blessed I am and how much I take for granted sometimes.

God bless your day!
