Bits of This and That - Snow!

 Good Morning:

We had a pretty quiet weekend.  We've mostly been staying home since last Sunday and Monday when we were inundated with almost 10 inches of snow.  We went out on Thursday to pick up our vehicle from the mechanic and to leave the other one for him to make a repair on,  It seems to me like our vehicles have been in the garage more than out recently.  Hope that trend is getting ready to change.  If not, we may be shopping for a new one.  We picked up lunch from McDonalds for us and for our dog.  She loved it!

On Friday we headed into church so hubby could pre-record the Sunday service to put on YouTube.  While the lot was cleared, it was still icy around the doors and we didn't want to take any chance of falling, so he'll record it on Monday and then post it to FB for anyone who's interested.  I'll try to remember to come back here and link it up,

  

Sunday's Sermon

We got about 3-4 more inches of snow on Friday evening. On Saturday morning I went out to shovel the drive and the neighbor next door came out and helped.  He did at least half of the drive for me and in no time it was done and the sun melted most of the rest of it.  Later that afternoon, I drove to Cracker Barrel and picked up some lunch for us.  I started a book Friday night in the middle of the night and read off and on throughout the day.  Saturday night we watched some TV and just relaxed.

Sunday we went to church and had a good service.  Hubby preached a good sermon from the book of James entitled How to Receive God's Wisdom. He encouraged us in 2025 to pray every day asking "Give me more of Jesus".  I think that's a great idea.  And since I had decided not to do a Word of the year, I've now decided to do a prayer of the year, asking everyday that God would give me more of Jesus.  I believe God will honor that prayer. 

After church, we picked up some lunch and came home, ate lunch and took a short nap and then I finished the book I was reading.  I wrote a post for Sunday and then wrote part of this post.  On the way to church Sunday evening there was another beautiful sunset.

Snow - I think I've seen enough for this winter!  How about you?  I mean I've enjoyed spending time at home instead of out running around.  But I could do that without the snow.  Anyway, it's been pretty and I've been blessed by our neighbors, but again, I'm ready for it to end.  However, hubby tells me we're supposed to get more on Tuesday and also some temperatures around zero and below.  Brrrr that's worse than the snow!

How was your weekend.  I hope we all have a great week.
