My theme this Christmas is the snowflake. We usually have a lighted peace sign because my prayer is always for the Peace that passes all understanding to heal our world.

This year, we have a soft blue snowflake as our outside decor.

The snowflake forms high in the clouds. Tiny specks of dust particles surrounded by water change into snowflakes as the freezing air hits them. As they fall, the wonder of seeing them reminds us that God himself gives each one its unique identity, just like he does for us. 

I heard it said that not one snowflake lands except where God intends. I do trust that every situation has a Godly purpose. We do have a choice. "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." Isaiah 1:18

I believe that my sins are forgiven through the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I don't need to understand everything. I simply trust this Hope I've found.

In Job 37:5-6, we read that God's voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth,' and to the rain shower, 'Be a mighty downpour.'

The snowflake is delicate. So are we. Capture a snowflake in your mind's eye and share the pureness of the season with all whom God brings your way.
