The Meaning of the Snowflake

Unless we make Christmas an occasion
to share our blessings, all the snow
in Alaska won't make it 'white'.
~ Bing Crosby ~

Every new snowflake come to the earth
as a picture of our Saviors' birth,
because they are sent from up above
and remind us of God's care and love.

Each one is so intricate and small
because Christ sees the details of us all,
and just as two are never the same
the Lord knows and calls us each by name.

Snowflakes gently cover the world in white
and hide what's unlovely from our sight,
showing us how He covers our sin
and gives us His grace when we come to Him.

So may every snowflake being Christ to mind
and in every bit of white may you find
a reason to celebrate anew
and a reminder of His love for you.
~ Holley Gerth ~

If you look for Me at Christmas
You won't need a special star-
I'm no longer just in Bethlehem,
I'm right there where you are.

You may not be aware of Me
Amid the celebrations-
You'll have to look beyond the stores
And all the decorations.

But if you take a moment
From your list of things to do
And listen to your heart, you'll find
I'm waiting there for you.

You're the one I want to be with,
You're the reason that I came,
and you'll find me in the stillness
As I'm whispering your name.
Love, Jesus
