Let it Snow!

It is officially the Christmas season!
There is fake snow inside, and real snow outside.

Thus beginneth the time of blankets and good books,

apple cider and down comforters,

sweaters and snow boots. 

The season of the year

when I contemplate the majesty of God's creations,

every time I see

the kaleidoscope of patterns in the falling snow

as it floats down through the night,

every time I hear

my snow boots crunch

on the powder-covered earth,

and every time the light

reflecting off the drifts

chases the darkness of the night away.

And more importantly, I remember that a Baby was born

in Bethlehem, a long time ago,who lived and died and rose again:

to break the bonds of death, to redeem me from my sins,

and to grant me the opportunity for everlasting life.

Happy Holidays!
