I woke this morning to an unexpected snow fall of about 3-5 inches. Of course when you go to bed in Memphis and they tell you there is a slight chance of some flurries; this is what usually happens. This was a nice surprise. My alarm went off at the normal time and my family gets the day to sleep late. So I sat in the den this morning with snow outside, fire going, and a good cup of coffee. All of this adds up to a relaxing morning devotional time.
There is something about a new snow fall that give you a calm feeling and yet at the same time everything is fresh. The earth looks like it gets a "Do - over". I enjoy looking at the snow before any cars come down the road and kids begin to play. It is my time to just enjoy the small window of perfection. I have the same feeling every morning at the beach. I love the sand before anyone walks on it.
This morning it reminded me of how Jesus' blood on the cross " washed me whiter than snow". Because of what He did on the cross my life has a "do-over". In fact every morning and every moment is a "do-over". I know longer have to live a defeated empty life. I constantly have a new white snow fall in my life.
