I remember having to spend hours driving home from work on snowy days, only to spend a few more shoveling out the driveway. And in the US Midwest, where my husband was stationed for awhile before we met, snow often killed people who began walking to what seemed to be a nearby house on the prairie after their cars stalled out in the cold. Despite the potential nuisance and destructive power, snow is still one of God's amazing wonders for those who know Him.<br />God bless,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-36233052088754062062016-12-11T13:39:46.340-08:002016-12-11T13:39:46.340-08:00Dear Laurie,

And every snowflake being unique, each different from each other, yet not a single one going amiss from God's perspective.<br />However, where I live is in a busy commuting area. So from many households in my area you would expect to hear mutterings, groans, and "Oh no's" - as the bedroom curtains are drawn open, anticipating with dread the certainty of road traffic congestion, delayed and cancelled buses and trains, snowballs thrown by mischievous children at your car windscreen, the cursing towards councils for forgetting to grit the roads, the high risk of accidents, the freezing cold...<br />And I should know by experience, one whose occupation was outdoors before retirement, having decided to cancel all work schedules during the worst Winter weeks, aware that our budget would not be to badly dented (I was self-employed). With these unofficial breaks and freedom from responsibilities, I was able to appreciate the power and the beauty of God's creation which Christless eyes cannot seem to see.<br />God bless. Frank E.

God's handiwork is truly incomparable, with amazing artistry, purposeful design, and even a sense of humor! Somewhere online I saw a fantastic collection of flowers and plants that look like exquisitely detailed animal faces, dancing ladies, and other fanciful creatures!<br />God bless you, Brenda, for your encouragement!<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-90881817372728829092016-12-10T09:14:45.282-08:002016-12-10T09:14:45.282-08:00Hi Laurie,

I have always loved the fact that each snowflake is unique, as we are, and the patterns in them are truly remarkable. Whenever I see pictures of them it comes straight into my mind 'It is a fool who says there is no God'. I was watching a program on the television yesterday about moths and butterflies and I could not believe what I saw in one of the moths. If I had not noticed its legs I would have thought that it's body was part of the bark of the tree it was on - it was identical and was made that way in order to camouflage it when near a predator. Truly beautiful.<br />God bless you Laurie for sharing this.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-4567250240009587412016-12-10T08:02:47.491-08:002016-12-10T08:02:47.491-08:00Thank you, Linda, for your lovely words!

God is amazing, He has given us life and a beautiful world to live in. It's a shame that some don't appreciate it, take it for granted or even try to ruin it.
