The Snow

Today I got inspired to use my blog once again....for no apparent reason other than the snow that's laying outside my window. It's been almost three years since I've posted something and although this is for my own personal comfort alone, if you happen to be reading this I hope you find it enjoyable.

As I look outside my window I'm reminded about how much I love our Creator. Depressing as I may think snow may be, there is a light in every situation. Maybe I'm overly joyful this morning because for exactly a year and a half now I've been trudging along though life, because of certain circumstances that shall remain nameless for the time being, and now I'm ready to be joyful once more. The winter always depresses me; no sun, no warmth, no light!

But as I looked outside my window today I saw something shinning and new and beautiful. The world has turned into a snow globe and everyone is singing praises getting ready for Christmas. The Lord says to praise Him in all seasons, and although this is talking about seasons of life one must also take it literally. It is truly beautiful outside, and even more beautiful because I do not have to walk to class today and traipse about on the frozen ground. The sun is glittering off the ice sickles and it is the morning of a brand new day. This is truly the work of the greatest artist who ever lived, and is living still inside each of His children. How can we keep from dancing and singing His praise even if it is the dead of winter?
