We are the Friesen's: It's Been Cold, But Not Anymore....

Welcome....Here's a glimpse of our happenings!

The verses that have REALLY spoken to me (Sarah) lately....

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." Matthew 7:24-25

Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. I Peter 5:8-9

From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.' Acts 17:26-28

May the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14

So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left. Walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess. Deuteronomy 5:32-33

God, our God, will take care of the hidden things but the revealed things are our business. It's up to us and our children to attend to all the terms in this Revelation. Deuteronomy 29:29 (The Message)

It's Been Cold, But Not Anymore....

This blog post is a little bit more for our "out-of-town" readers, and since I put this blog address in our "Friesen Christmas Letter," there could be some of those readers....

Over the last couple of weeks, we've had some cold weather -- temperatures way below normal. Last week, we got a nice snow. Here's a photo of our home. We love how it looks after it snows.

That particular day, Luke and I just stayed home. Yep, we both got a little bit of cabin fever, but it was probably safer for us to just stay home.

Because it's been so cold, Luke obviously has to be bundled up every time we go somewhere. We LOVE how he looks in this hat. He never cries or "fights us" when we put it on him, BUT we definitely don't get a smile. We just get this look of seriousness.

Too cute to not photograph....

So, Tammy and Reynold, if you're reading this blog (they live up in Manitoba where it gets really cold), you're probably both thinking that we're all a bunch of whimps down here. Well, you know, as I always say, it's all relative. Our coldness down here is much different than your coldness up there....

Fortunately, it's warming up again. So, enjoy this weekend as it's supposed to be warmer.....
