Snowy blanket

Today I woke up to get my steaming hot cup of coffee and to go to the Farmers markey with Mama.I looked out the window, and was so excited to see a blanket of delicate white covering much of the yard, pastures, and trees (:

It is amazing to think that it is this season we celebrate Jesus's birth; it seems the world is so much quiter this time of year. My mama said "everything looks so clean!" It just now struck me that the snow, like Jesus, was sent to the earth to make us feel clean and fresh. Such a pure, delicate feeling of freshly fallen snow is so alike the birth of baby Jesus; fresh pure life from God. I am so thanksful for the gift God gave us, I wish everyone a wonderful Christmas, and that we may all feel hte deep fufilling warmth that Jesus gives us, even when outside it may be snowy!
