The snow is at least one reminder of the gospel today--Isaiah 1:18 - Come now and let us reason together, says the Lord, though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are like crimson, they shall be as wool.
The whiteness and brilliance of the snow is a reminder to all believers of the beauty of the sacrifice of Jesus in our place for our sins--that he not only propitiated the wrath of God against sinners but he also expiated the barrier of sin that separated us from his presence and joy and peace and glory.
How often we get bogged down by the busyness of life and ministry and stuff that surrounds us that our minds and hearts are turned away from the "beauty of the cross."
Sometimes in life, the cross is all we have to hold on to--it is then, as someone has said before me, we find that it's reality of redemption and forgiveness and reconciliation is all we need. Hallelujah to the Lamb! Hallelujah, what a Savior!
May God renew our spirits for his work in reflecting on the cross of Jesus.
Here is a picture of my little girl in the snow!
