LET IT SNOW!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! If you live in S. Texas the weather will amaze you your entire life. This morning we woke up to “Slightly Cloudy & A Chance of Snow” ! What? These predictions come along from time to time and usually nothing ever comes of them, but today has turned into one of those magical days. For those of us that seldom experience “real snow”, I don’t have to tell you how excited we all become, even us big kids.

As I slipped on my boots and coat for a trip outdoors to experience “real snow”, I felt the old familiar crunch of each step. I turned back to see my footprints. Yes, there they were, a very visible reminder of where I had just walked. Just as I could see my most recent path, I thought of how God can see every step I take. Oh Father, please guide my steps and let me be obedient to Your guiding.

I’m reminded too that this beautiful dusting of snow is only by God’s hand. It totally makes me think of His “Grace”, the grace He gives to me. He gives it to me, undeserving as I am, and still loves me and covers me with it. This snow today is a wonderful reminder of how perfectly His grace covers. Snow is white and pure, just like Him. It’s bright and beautiful just like He is light. It’s soft and quiet as it covers completely, just as He covers His children under His wings of protection.

I praise God today for His awesome reminder of how much He loves and cares for us. I praise Him too for this reminder of His beauty. If you too were reminded today of God’s grace as this beautiful snow drifts down, join me in thinking on things of Him.

Oh, by the way, it is now snowing again, even harder. Thank you, Father.
Blessings, Prissy
