Building a snowman

Ice skating

Cross country skiing

Making ice cream from fresh snow

All of these things are ahead of many of us this winter. Usually the things we think about are the walks and driveways that have to be cleared or the ice on the roads. Looking at winter is always done in the perspective of the person sharing their view.

Since I am the one writing this, I am sharing my fun view of winter.  To me, it is a majestic time of the year. 

The earth is silenced in the snow. 

For me it is a reminder of the greatness of my God.  Even in the formation of snowflakes, you have to stop and admire the One Who made them. 

The basic shape of the snowflake is based on the temperature in which the crystals form.  It takes about 15 minutes for one snowflake to form and then fall to the ground at a speed of about 2 miles per hour.

God’s creation and His ways are far above our ways.

Isaiah 55:8 says, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.

We don’t know how much snow will come to us this winter or when it will come. What we do know, is that the One Who makes the snow and holds all of creation in His hand is not controlled by our thoughts or ways. 

That makes me happy. I know that I can trust the God of the snowflake for every detail of my life, no matter what it is. 

So, when you see that first flake, stop and think about the One Who made that snow; the One Who has a special plan in mind for you.
