Liz Henderson--Program Team Assistant
There is great excitement around HoneyRock today because last night it began to snow. It is our first big snowstorm of the winter season and at least 7 inches have already fallen! The snow is continuing to fall, and we are thankful that our Graduate Program Assistants (GPAs) can finally begin to learn winter activities such as snowshoeing, tubing, and cross-country skiing.
This morning during devotions, Pete Sailhamer, the HoneyRock Business Manager, shared a with us that the first big snowfall each winter reminds him of God's forgiveness for us. Just like the snow covers all the dirt and dead leaves from the fall with a clean white blanket, so God covers over our sin and makes us clean. I was reminded of the verse in Isaiah 1:18:
"Come now, let us reason together,"
says the LORD.
"Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool."
I hope that today--whatever the weather--you will be reminded that though our sins be like scarlet, they will be made white as snow. Thank God for sending his Son to die on a cross so that we could be forgiven.
Below are some pictures that were taken around camp this morning.
