A LITTLE SNOW FOR MY BABY GIRL

Since we moved to this house 3 years ago, it has snowed every winter and now sweet Kate just expects it. And, since it snowed while we were in the mountains last Christmas, she thinks that snow and Christmas naturally go hand in hand! Well, the day after Christmas, I looked out the window and "to what did my wondering eyes appear, but SNOW"...just the tiniest flakes, but snow just the same. So out Kate and I go to get her "annual" snow picture. You can barely see it but the pictures were worth it snow or not!

This first picture just does something to my heart everytime I look at it! Bliss!

Do you see the tiny snowflakes???

Look at that face!!! The "flairies" were courtesy of Santa!

Our beautiful girl

Christmas was great this year...Kate was SO into every aspect of Christmas, but I have to tell you that the most precious memory I have this year was this...I had picked Kate up from preschool and she was telling me about her day and that they had gone to Chapel that morning and that Pastor David (She goes to The Weekday Preschool at Christ United Methodist Church) was telling them the Christmas story. She was telling me that there was no room for Mary and Joseph in the inn and that they had to stay in a stable. I was adding details to the story and she listened very intently as I drove. She was quiet for a few minutes and then she said, "Mom, tell me everything you know about Jesus." I almost had to stop the car for fear that I was going to wreck from the tears in my eyes. This precious child never ceases to amaze me with her desire to learn about Jesus. I explained to her that Jesus came to be our Hope and that he grew to be a man and taught many about God's love for them and that he died on a cross so that we may all know the Lord and experience eternal Life through Him. I pray that with every passing day, her love for the Lord grows stronger and that no matter what happens in her life that she knows that she has a Savior who paid it all for her.
