Smug Old Me

I admit it. I’m dumb.  I thought hoarfrost was just a heavy frost.  My friend Brenda explained it to me.  She said she thought it was a frost where you can see ice needles every where.  I didn’t take her word for it.  I read all about it. It’s not a frost we’ve had yet.  It’s one where ice crystals cover plants, trees, and grass.  One always can learn if one realizes one don’t know everything and one is not always right.  Only the Lord knows all.

psalm 139;

    O Lord, you have searched me and known me!

2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;

    you discern my thoughts from afar.

3 You search out my path and my lying down

    and are acquainted with all my ways.

4 Even before a word is on my tongue,

    behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.

5 You hem me in, behind and before,

    and lay your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

    it is high; I cannot attain it.

 This is not hoarfrost.  I got interested in the word as it is used in the Bible. Hoar means old, white or gray like an old man’s beard.  I’m still being educated in my old age…I don’t know everything...yet!
