Snow in Beijing (1/2020)

January, 2020 Snow in Beijing, 2020! Anabel in the snow: Because of the dry climate, it doesn't snow very much here, so we were all SOOOOOOO excited for the snow! Everything is frosted with thin layers of soft, white snow. The trees are covered with snow. The bikes, too! Freckles the bunny! In the back seat of a bike: On top of a "tree stump"... In a basket: Now, with her friend Huggie the teddy bear! Let's add another friend to the picture - Anabel! Dusting the snow off Huggie... There we go! Huggie is safe, dry, warm, and clean. Footprints in the snow. The still, white world. Up toward the sky... Whose footprints?

Beijing DaXin Airport

Beijing's new airport! Check in! Down the escalators! The airport has just opened, and there are relatively few people. Some terminals have not been used yet! Many new airlines will be flying to and from Beijing with the new airport! Still in construction, but it looks very fun inside! Restaurants and stores... even KFC! Art and beautiful designs hanging above! Vending machines: beverages, toys, collectibles, and much more! Wheelchairs, too! Lots of stores selling all kinds of things. Window shopping is so much fun (and it's free)! Airplane take-off Landing!

Praise the Lord for creating snow! Our God is a wonderful Creator! "God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend. For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth’; Likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength." -Job 37:5-6 "He sends out His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly. He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes; " -Psalm 147:15-16 "For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." -Isaiah 55:10-11 Fun sledding in the snow! Drag the sled up the hill! Well, not really the hill... for safety and fun reasons, the s...
