Today we woke up to a white, frosty world. About six inches of snow was on the ground and more was falling fast. After breakfast, we all trooped out in the snow to play a bit although little feet got cold quickly so we didn’t stay out long! (Watch for snow photos coming soon in our next mini-update.)
We had no plans for today so we are thoroughly enjoying that “snowed in” feeling. I had ingredients on hand to make some stew (which fitted in nicely with our cozy winter day) and afterwards, Joel and Mariah planned a church service for us. I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard in a very long time! Get ready . . .
Just before the service started, Mariah asked me to check the spelling on her sign she was making for the church. It read, “Bap mist chrch.” Maybe she’ll be a Baptist someday but we are currently not members of that denomination!
Hannah, Aliyah, Peter and I got ushered into the playroom where the rectangular cushions from our futon were arranged as pews. They had a little table up on top of the futon as a pulpit. Joel, dressed in his Sunday best, started out the service by telling the story of creation and Adam and Eve sinning, very accurately told!
