Walking to Church in the Snow

After a whole night of snowing, it finally stops and we're gonna walk through the snow when it's thickest to church. Anyway, those who are experiencing this for the first time (like me) are really fascinated. While the seniors are like... "Oh No". Anyway, the scenery is really fantastic, it's so much more beautiful than usual.

Stuffing our shoes in the thick wet snow:

There are less people in church that day, and service started slightly later. I didn't know that there is free lunch for students, they have it once in a while. The fun thing is they covered the tables with paper and colour pencils are provided for random drawing, a pretty smart way for ice-breaking.

Preparing for lunch:

I actually enjoyed most (or all) of the church lunch so far, because it's really a taste of British local food. Jack potatoes, gravy and bake beans with cheese, something special out of my normal meals. Dessert is good too, ice-cream on puddings (puddings are actually something like brownies). Then the church leaders shared something about God's image in us, there goes a wonderful lunch session.

Standard British meal:

Spending my wonderful time walking back home again. I think I kinda know why the local dislike the snow, most of the houses are "flooded", it'll take a long time to clean it I guess. Oh ya, after weeks of cloudy days, I finally have some sunlight to cheer and warm us up.

Pure white field and a radiant of light:

"A hot-tempered person must pay the penalty; rescue them, and you will have to do it again."
-Proverbs 19:19-

I've heard of phrase like "He washed me white as snow", but it's until this day that I truly understand the white of snow. So pure and so beautiful, not only to the pleasing of sight but also somehow brighten my heart. If this is what nature can do, how much more can God achieve in us? Pray that the snow won't cause too much trouble for the neighborhood, but indeed this is a great blessings, Amen.
