I admit, I am not a big fan of the snow. I hate being cold, and I hate driving in it. However, today I am feeling an overwhelming sense of God in the snow. Corny? Maybe. But there is something about looking outside and seeing everything in a new light. The dirty, empty, brown field behind my house is now clean, full, and bright. It brings to mind all the songs that use the word picture of being "white as snow" when God forgives our sins. Snow makes even the most ugly of things beautiful. The dark looks bright. The dirty looks clean once again. Today I am thankful for the snow. I am thankful that I have a wonderful, cozy, warm home to be in. I am thankful that I have a safe and warm vehicle to drive. I am thankful that my family has warm clothes, shoes, and coats to wear. I am thankful for coffee! :0) I am most thankful to God for making me white as snow.
