Well, it snowed a bit more on the afternoon/evening of the 10th of January than the previous snow fall on the 26th of December. So this photo was taken early in the morning on the 11th, which was the day we had our first Sunday Service for Shining Lights Church ( http://www.shininglightschurch.org ).
After all that we had been through with the separation from the church we had joined when we first came to Japan. I felt God had given us the green light for the new venture when in my devotion time just before our first service I read the following:-
"For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy [place]." - Psalm 66:10-12 (KJV)
P.S. Check out our church website if you want to hear my Aussie accent.
P.P.S for some of you this snow may very little, but since I come from Perth where it has never snowed (in all the time I lived there), I was very happy to see this.
