Snowflakes and awe....


It is officially snowing in Houston! Big ole honkin' snowflakes! This is only the second time it has snowed in Houston since I've lived here (James says it's more than twice, but I don't think so), so it is a real treat. The kids were is awe and so were a lot of the adults. Everyone is standing outside, even though it is freezing cold and dark, just to get a glimpse of these beautiful giant flakes of frozen water floating down out of the sky. It's just something we don't get to see a lot of and so we enjoy it just as if it were something we had never experienced before.
Wouldn't it be cool if we all reacted the same way to God's love as we are reacting to the snow? As amazing as snowflakes are, God's love is so much more awe-inspiring! I sure wish that I approached the throne of God with so much wonder, but so often I don't. I pray that each and every day I can find as much newness and amazement at what God is doing as I can to snow in Houston. Because let's face it....God's love is way cooler plus it lasts forever (unlike snow in Houston that only lasts a few hours).
