Dallas had a white Christmas this year! I've wished for a Christmas like this for 21 years and it has finally come! Everything seems so much happier when the snow falls: people are excited, the world is brighter. This snow, although not sticking, has been a reminder of His grace and love. I walked around outside and let it hit my skin and joy overwhelmed my heart. I think of how beautiful snow is and I'm reminded of how beautiful He has made us and our brothers and sisters. Snow makes me unbelievably cheerful and happy, but it doesn't compare to the joy found in the Lord. Snow is peaceful, refreshing, and lovely; all things the Lord is to me, yet He is so much more than that! Praise be to God that He would wash us with grace, love, and peace and call us HIS!
My heart desires to see snow-covered mountains when I wake, when I spend time with Him, and when I am around the ones I love. I remember one morning in Colorado at a Ski Resort when I sat outside and stared at His work, and I remember how at peace I was and how much love filled my heart! I picture the way the world looked around me, and I am in awe! The peaceful, refreshing, and lovely snow laid gently upon the mighty and strong mountains... what a beautiful reflection of our Lord! I saw a glimpse of Him that day and had the joy of being able to sit, be still, and enjoy His presence! I can't wait for many more days like this!
I pray as you continue to be surrounded by His beauty, it overwhelms you and moves you and fills you with joy!
