White as Snow and Crazy Eggs

Lately, we've been getting into the habit of boiling eggs to bring with us to work for lunch alongside our meals. 

We would boil a batch at a time and store them in the fridge. This week, Ying boiled the eggs. I opened the fridge and saw this. Our very own Hard-Boiled Egg Hunt.

 Thanks to a Wonderful Boss's wife, I got some lovely sambal to stir-fry some leftover shrimp from CNY with. One of the tastiest dinners this year yet.

The first snow of 2012 has come softly all through the evening and night. We could tell as it was the one night's sleep that was not laced with the occasional sound of ambulances. 4 inches outside our apartment. Beautiful Sunday except for my very worn out boot soles which left me slipping and sliding down the hill.

However, unlike the worn out soles, the soul was very much refreshed being reminded how His blood washes us whiter than snow. Seeing it blanket the city and absorb the groans of machines turning the unsettling noise of urban life into pure quietness brings this metaphor into life for me. So clean, so calming. The transient and seen snow reflects the eternal unseen glory. Wonderful reminder at the start of the new year.
