Tomorrow is the official start of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
All eyes around the world will be on Vancouver,Canada and on the athletes from each participating country.
Because of this I want to show you some pictures taken by Jake of the Olympic flame as it passed right close to our home on January 7.
We live at the corner of 1st and Wardrop and that is exactly the route of the flame.
The RCMP,(Royal Canadian Mounted Police),were on duty.
The way this gentleman is dressed is indicative of the temperatures on that day.
The torches meet and the flame is passed on to the next runner.
Inspite of the bitter cold,these people are still able to smile.
Carrying on with the flame.
All this has brought to mind a verse from the Bible.
Matthew 5:16 says, Let your light shine before men,that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
Just as the Olympic torch bearers held their light high,we need to let our Christian lights shine brightly.
On a different note,Connie from Reaching Out and Up has suggested that we list 5 of our favorite things.
Here goes,in no particular order,
1. Spending time with my husband
2.Snuggling with my Granddaughter
3.Chatting with my son,sometimes for a long time on the phone.
4.Homemade ice-cream,YUMMY
5.The blue of the sky on a spring day.
If I could add another one it would be,Connecting with my blogging friends.
I am looking forward to hearing what some of your favorite things are.
