Have you ever made paper snowflakes with a child? You know, the ones
where you fold the paper all different ways and then cut out little shapes along the folds (without cutting through the entire fold), finally unfolding to a surprise creation.
Can you imagine “the cutting” that has been going on in heaven for the last couple weeks?
Here’s the REALLY COOL thing about snow: Each flake! Yes, EACH flake is a unique flake. Not one is the same as another. Each flake is formed on a unique water molecule, collecting its own unique dust, dirt, and other environmental add-ins, falling through its own unique path to earth. It’s hard for our human eyes to see the detail in each flake. Here is an article that shows pictures of flakes, up close (and personal).

And here is an even COOLER thing: God, Who created each and every flake, Who cares so much about their uniqueness and their “character”, how much more does He care for YOU!?
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:25-34
So, the next time the “white-stuff” falls in your neighborhood, try to look at each flake, and realize that YOU are an incredible work of art, created by the Master Artist…
He will CERTAINLY care for you!
