We had our first
snowfall of the winter this week around here. Sure, winter doesn’t officially
start for more than five weeks, but this is Wisconsin.
And, oh! The
complaining that followed!
A blizzard
of laments and a flurry of gripes swept across Facebook and Twitter.
And all over the
Midwestern United States, folks argued about whether they welcomed the pretty
snow and the promise of winter sports or simply counted the days till spring
would arrive.
Personally,
I’m finding myself playing both sides on the snow issue.
I love warmer
weather, but a fresh snow certainly dresses up the neighborhood. Snow hides a
multitude of messes, like those crusty, wilted annual flowers I still need to
clear out of my garden.
God’s grace
is a little like that – only much more so.
Today’s Bible
promise points to the fresh, clean lives the Lord creates out of our crusty,
wilty lives.
“Come now, and let us reason
together,”
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like
scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow:
Though they are red like
crimson,
they shall be as wool.”
(Isaiah 1:18, NKJV)
I think I’ll slip on
my favorite white wool sweater and go brave the snowy weather with a new
attitude, at least for today.
