Winter Wonderland

February 21, 2008

Hi Everyone, 
As I sit here in my office, gazing out the window I see 
lots of snow, actually more snow than we have had in a long 
time. The sun shinning upon it makes the individual flakes 
sparkle as if they were a slue of diamonds upon soft white 
velvet. It is amazing that each snow flake has its own 
intricate design. But isn't that how God makes everything! 
The trees with their bare branches reaching upward look so 
majestic against the blue sky. Way up in the tops I see 
nests, that the squirrels or birds have built. I see the 
feeder filled with sweet little tiny finches in colors of 
brown, white, black and yellow. Some are more patient than 
others as they sit and wait their turn. The cardinals are 
purched amoung the branches, with their red color so 
beautiful against the white snow. 
As I look upon this winter wonderland I thank God for the 
beauty He has given us and for His awesome love and care of 
all His creation, large or small, and the wonder of it all 
is that in His infinite wisdom the amount of snow we have 
through out the winter months is just the right amount to 
refill the lakes and rivers and water His vast garden to 
make the cycle begin again. He always know just what we 
need and just when we need it.  
From now on I will look at this time of year here as a time 
not to grumble about the cold or the slippery driving 
conditions, but to reflect on the beauty of God's winter 
wonderland and just enjoy all he has given us. No part of 
God's creation is to be worshiped though, for the entire 
creation is the work of the creator God himself, and he 
only is to be worshiped. 
That is all for this time. 
Please feel free to comment, or tell us how you see this 
time of year in your home town.
