The First Snowfall

What is it about that first snow fall?

I'm not the biggest fan of snow... not after Christmas... but before Christmas? Yes. After living in a state where the snow seemed to fall a few days before Christmas came I now truly appreciate snow. It gets me in the Christmas spirit!

One of my favorite feelings after that first snow is the desire to curl up in a warm blanket in front of the fireplace with a book. Unfortunately, I've never lived anywhere that was actually possible. But now I am so excited because the house that my husband and I are moving into has a fireplace. My winter fantasy can come true!

I am sure that not everyone agrees with my thoughts on snow... but I really do think it is one of the most beautiful things. The fact that snow flakes are all different shapes, sizes, and designs... just amazes me. Our God is so cool. He puts so much thought into every snowflake, knowing that as soon as it hits the ground it will melt or freeze onto another one, losing all the beauty and wonder it holds.

The fact that He designs each one so special just makes me smile. Why? Because I know that I was designed special too. I have things that no one else has, I might have some personality traits that some others have, but mine are mixed with some that those same people don't have. I was designed for a specific purpose that no one else can do. I'm to be me. And even if its for a split second of beauty or wonder, it will all be for the glory of God. And that, my friends, is what my life is about.

Have a wonderful day. And enjoy looking at all the little things in life.
