The Meaning of Snowflakes

Snow, snow, snow... we had lots of it on new year's eve. One question Charis likes to ask is "What is snow for?". Just want to share with you a beautiful poem that so aptly answers this question... 

"Every new snowflake comes to the earth

as a picture of our Saviour's birth;

because they are sent from up above

and remind us of God's care and love.

Each one is so intricate and small

because Christ sees the details of us all;

and just as two are never the same,

the Lord knows and calls us each by name.

Snowflakes gently cover the world in white

and hide what's unlovely from our sight;

showing us how He covers our sin,

and gives us His grace when we come to Him.

So may every snowflake bring Christ to mind,

and in every bit of white,

may you find a reason to celebrate anew

and a reminder of His love for you."

~ Holley Gerth

Happy new year... and may your everyday be a reminder of His grace, mercy and love.
