we are having a winter weather advisory again.
the snow will start around midnight and will go through the day tomorrow.
we are not going to get much.
only 5 - 6 inches.
can you tell we are becoming northerners?
5 - 6 inches.
not much at all.
not enough to slow us down.
not enough to keep us from going to work.
not enough to close schools,
not enough to keep us from driving.
not much at all.
the amazing thing though is when the snow comes floating down, everything gets covered in this soft white downy covering, the world gets quiet, and you see the snow flakes drifting down from sky...you just have to worship our Creator. during the last snow storm i found myself sitting in at my desk, on the fourth floor of our building, watching the snow, and being enthralled by knowing the One who created it. i kept forgetting to work because i was so distracted by praising Him.
for who he is.
for the way he creates.
for the way he makes this world work.
for the way each snow flake is an individual, perfect, and unique.
it reminds me of the scripture i read this week, psalm 51:6-13:
Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me hear joy and gladness,
That the bones You have broken may rejoice.
Hide Your face from my sins,
And blot out all my iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners shall be converted to You.
may we rejoice in the snow tomorrow.
may God restore to us the joy of our salvation.
and may the beauty of the snow, remind us of our sin.
made whiter than the snow we will see.
by the blood of the One who gave himself for us.
