White as snow!

As I look at my windows, there is still a beautiful blanket of white snow covering every nook & cranny.  We recently had 3 days straight of non-stop snow that left a 13" thick blanket!  The children had a wonderful time building a 6' snowman & sledding down our hill in the new sleds that their dear Papa bought them!  Sadly, it's all slowly melting now since the temperatures have consistently risen above freezing, but there's still enough out there that is all so beautiful to look at!  I'm reminded of the old hymn, "Nothing But the Blood" which states:  "O precious is the flow that makes me WHITE AS SNOW."  I am humbly reminded that God my Father sees me so clean, all because of what my Savior did for me!!!  What a thought!  Thank you, Jesus!!!

Here are the rest of the words of that beautiful, old hymn...

"What can wash away my sin?  Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?  Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

(Refrain):  O precious is the flow that makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

For my cleansing this I see--Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my pardon this my plea--Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

(Refrain):  O precious is the flow that makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Nothing can for sin atone--Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done--Nothing but blood of Jesus;

(Refrain):  O precious is the flow that makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
This is all my hope and peace--Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness--Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

(Refrain):  O precious is the flow that makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Now by this I'll overcome--Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Now by this I'll reach my home--Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

(Refrain):  O precious is the flow that makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

AMEN!!!
