"The meaning of the Snowflake" ~
Holley Gerth
Every new snowflake comes to the earth as a picture of our Savior's birth, because they are sent from up above and remind us of God's care and love. Each one is so intricate and small because Christ sees the details of us all, and just as two are never the same the Lord knows and calls us each by name. Snowflakes gently cover the world in white and hide what's unlovely from our sight, showing us how He covers our sin and gives us His grace when we come to Him. So may every snowflake bring Christ to mind and in every bit of white may you find a reason to celebrate anew and a reminder of His love for you.
