Snowflakes appear for holiday cheer

The Meaning of the Snowflake 

Every new snowflake comes to the earth .....

is 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 bring 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.


The lovely poem above was written by Holly Gerth. All pictures were taken at my tiny (570')  century plus old farmhouse in the Appalachian mountains. Many of the windows in my farmhouse still have the wavy glass, which makes them extra special to me. The window with the cafe curtain has sixteen
window panes and the grids allow me to merchandise them with collectibles. I have sweet little faux birds and nests scattered throughout my home year round.

 Snowflakes just spell W-I-N-T-E-R which is obviously fitting for this time of year. And they are so inexpensive to decorate with. I found several styles at the dollar store.The best part is that they do not take up much space when it comes time to pack them up and store them until next year.

A cold snap seemed to happen overnight here. Burrrrrrrr !!!!!!!
Baby it's cold outside and being that my farmhouse is a real old farmhouse that means it can get a bit more chilly than the new pretend to be farm homes. Anyone with a (REAL) farmhouse can appreciate what I am saying here, right?  So, the fireplace is in full use every evening now. Hot mulled cider drizzled with salted caramel sauce is in hand, as I warm up, both inside and out.

Blessings, and remember even at your age, it is NEVER too late to have a happy childhood.
