Snow

Psalm 34:8 - "O taste and see that the Lord is good: happy are those who take refuge in him.

Today's Upper Room devotional inspired me. It was titled Christmas Card Snow. I have always loved snow. While most people pray it doesn't snow, I pray it will.

Snow causes inconvenience, everything slows down, even comes to a complete stop. People living in my area don't see much snow and certainly don't know how to drive on slick roads. It causes electricity to go off, etc. So I do understand their concern and desire that we don't have snow.

To me, snow is a very peaceful scene. It glistens and sparkles covering everything with a beautiful blanket. IT makes me think how awesome God is. All of His creation is filled with beauty.

Weather is part of God's creation. Just as a sunny day makes me feel peaceful, and warm, a snowy day makes me feel blanketed in God's loving arms.

As I grow older, I have gained a better appreciation of God's beauty all around me. On my spiritual walk I have discovered how wonderful and awesome God is and how much God loves me. Just as snow blankets the earth, God showers me with His love. I am so thankful for God's love, mercy and tenderness that he showers down on me. I will always be amazed by His goodness.
