"Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean.
Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow."

I like snow.
My earliest and
warmest childhood memories revolve around holidays; especially Thanksgiving,
Christmas, and Easter.
It often snowed
on those days.
Still does.
Anyway, my
memories are not about eating myself to sleep, forgotten gifts that were under
the tree, or eggs and marshmallow peeps.
Mostly, I
remember feelings.
I felt warm.
I felt loved.
Still do.
Let me explain.
Snow, for me, is
a metaphor for God's love.
As the leaves and
life of spring, summer, and autumn wither, fade, fall, and die, snow comes to
cover the emptiness and bareness of it all.
Snow covers
holes, junk, trash, dead plants, scarred landscapes, and other unsightly and
depressing things.
Mysteriously yet
consistently, a layer of snow brings attitudinal as well as actual warmth.
It makes me think
of God's love for you, me, and everybody.
God's love covers
our emptiness, bareness, holes, junk, trash, scarred landscapes, deaths, and
other unsightly and depressing things.
I like snow.
It reminds me of
His covering by grace through faith in Jesus.

Blessings and Love!
