Snowy Thoughts

Last week before the sun was up, I walked out back and took some snaps of the freshly fallen snow. As you can see, the moon was still visible and there was just a dash of pink light in the background. I was out about 10 minutes and my fingertips froze. I had on gloves with the fingertips exposed, and I could hardly press the shutter button down because they were so cold!

It was a lovely snow fall. It snowed all day, and I enjoyed watching it. It calmed my spirit, refreshed my soul and warmed my heart. Snow provides the opportunity to slow down, giving you time to reflect on life and consider the things you're involved in.

Snow makes you yearn for spring as you look at the frozen buds on the trees and imagine the beauty that will arrive in a few short months. The frozen buds look dead, but soon they will become baby leaves. God's creation will bloom once again!

Yes, I like the snow. It helps me see more clearly God's perfect plan.

What beauty we enjoy living in Maryland. We experience all the seasons of the year. Each one is breathtaking in its own right.

"There is no season such delight can bring, As summer, autumn, winter and the spring."  William Browne, 1591-1643

So if you haven't looked at the snow from eyes of delight, I invite you to anticipate the next snowfall, and see it through God's eyes. Just a little piece of His heart for you!
