e Winter::

The winter is just beautiful. It really is. As much as I rant about summer, winter really is breathtaking.

"I love to tell the story; more wonderful it seems
Than all our golden fancies of all our golden dreams":
"I love to tell the story, because I know 'tis true
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do":
"I love to tell the story, 'twill be my fame and glory
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love":
"I love to tell the story; 'tis pleasant to repeat
What seems, each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet":
"And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song
'Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long":
I Love to Tell the Story - A. Katherine Hankey
"Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh! What a foretaste of glory divine!":
"Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of the Spirit, washed in His blood":
"This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long!":
"This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long"
"Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight":
"Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love":
"Perfect submission, all is at rest;

I in my Savior am happy and blest":

"Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love":
Blessed Assurance -- Fanny Crosby


ps. summer has its perks:
See the mailbox? The driveway goes about two feet past that. And there is a good 15 feet behind me that isn't in the picture. Basically, the driveway is a nightmare to shovel. But, we did it. And we're all pretty proud of it.
Oh, what a beatiful spread of snowless pavement! *sigh*
