In Search of Warmth


Where I live the weather has decided to become very cold. We are experiencing temperatures that are barely reaching the mid-teens during the day & dropping below 0 at night. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the snow, but I also like the temperature to stay around 20-25 degrees. While thinking about such cold (although for some, I know it probably sounds very mild), I decided to search for photos of firesides that would at least help me imagine that I was warm. I found somely lovely images. The one below caught my eye as it looked like such a loving family.


I just love this one. It reminds me of my German shepherd, Majesty & one of my former cat friends, Spitfire, who unfortunately died last year. They always seemed to get along well.


I then found this painting by Henry Salem Hubbell, which I think is beautiful, & along with it I found two others (although not really about firesides, they do look very warm & inviting). I especially love the colors he used.






We are supposed to be having a snowstorm coming in soon, but I am praying against it, as we have our Easter play auditions coming up this Saturday & we don't need another cancellation. I hope everyone is having a wonderful & blessed January. I thank God for giving us what we have that we so often take for granted, our salvation.

God bless,
Sarah

  1. Hi Sarah

    I was just wondering if the Emma DVD has arrived yet? Did it reach you in time for Christmas?

  2. Elise, yes I did receive the Emma DVD. I am sorry that I did not let you know sooner, I have just been swamped since Christmas. Actually it arrived the Christmas Eve, but my brother put it aside & forgot about it till three days after Christmas. When I finally did get to watch it, I really enjoyed it. I am not sure which version I like best though, the one I received from you or the Gwenyth Paltrow version. But I would like to thank you again for choosing me as the for the giveaway.

    God bless,
    Sarah
