Snow flurry sighting

As I left the grocery store this morning I was excited to see the first snow of the season--it was only a flurry, but a thrill nonetheless!  I know a month or so from now it won't sound as fun, but today when I saw the swirling white flakes I felt like a little kid again.  I love to see the changing of the seasons, and this one reminds me that Christmas isn't far away!

What a blessing it is to see the wonders of nature and think how the Creator God became man, came down to us and brought the greatest gift of love ever given.   

Pray that our friends here in Hungary will look beyond the wonders of creation to the Creator who loves them and has provided the way to forgiveness and new life in Christ.

A view of our neighborhood from the balcony.  The camera didn't pick up the snow flurries very well, but if you look closely you can see white spots  in the photo and a slight bit of accumulation on the roof of the house to the left. More will come, I'm sure!
