Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Can you see the wind swirling the snow around in a circular motion?

The weather outside isn't frightful for me. I've been wishing for a good snowfall all winter and it finally came true. There is something about snow that makes me think of spiritual things. Snow reminds me that though my sins were as scarlet they shall be as white as snow. Snow makes the ugly look beautiful by covering it up with white perfection. Watching the snowfall, makes me feel peaceful and at rest because the world around me slows down. Maybe this is a sign from God, like rainbows, to remind us all of spiritual realities. So, have a happy snow day all you who live on the east coast!

Beautiful thoughts, Mary. I wonder why that didn't occur to me when we see snow so many months of the year? Thank you for the reminder that even though I get tired of seeing white, it is a symbol of how God sees me in Christ. Awesome, isn't it!!
