Dad and I were talking the other day about how  Arnotts has discontinued selling “ lattice biscuits”. They were a great biscuit to use when cooking  slices! They had a lattice look to them, and were like a pastry in a biscuit. 

 The word “ lattice” reminds me of a curved trellis or a pergola where you can sit outdoors on a nice weather day,and be protected from the sunshine, or from windy or rainy weather on other days. Our beautiful Loving Lord’s love is like a lattice over and around us. It lovingly protects and cares us in all that our day holds. We still have pain and tiredness but His lattice of love enfolds us in His care❤️.  

  We are now half way through Winter! That is great! Winter is not my favourite season, as it is cold and not sunshiny! It is lovely though that in the midst of cloudy skies and darkness, all of a sudden beautiful glimpses of sunshine still appear! Perhaps we appreciate the sunshine even more when  that happens then on a Summery sunny day. The love of our beautiful loving Lord Jesus and loving Heavenly Father shines through all the parts of our day. We rest in His love through our pain,weakness and tiredness ❤️

 There are many people who are heading for the snowfields these season to have fun in the snow! They may be skiing or building cute snowmen or just enjoying time spent chatting around a warm log fire having warm cups of coffee,tea or hot chocolate. It would be too cold though for me! I like the warmth of home!  

  Our loving and beautiful Lord Jesus and loving Heavenly Father express some of their power and majesty as they send the snow. Snow glistens in its whiteness, and each snowflake has been formed beautifully. The ground is covered in whiteness just like as we look outside through windows we see the touch of our creative Lord in all that we see in nature ❤️

     

 Our beautiful and loving Lord Jesus and loving Heavenly Father care so very much about us ❤️ They know when we are tired, or painful or feeling a little sad. They do know that we miss our loved ones that are now living with them in Heaven and they tenderly say to us: “ We’re looking after them and they continue to love you so much. We know and see your tears, and are lovingly  watching over you until the time when you will see them again”❤️

 Dad and Mum used to present a lovely slideshow program called : “Wintertime Wonderland.” It had lots of slides of Wintertime nature scenes that Dad had taken, and it was very beautiful and majestic. When the lights when out and everyone was looking at the slides, everything was very quiet and we could all give very much praise to our beautiful and loving Lord Creator as we looked at the lovely Wintertime slides. May we continue to give thanks for all the special Winter landscape that our Loving Creator provides ❤️
